The cost to overdraw a bank account could drop to as little as $3 under a proposal announced by the White House, the latest effort by the Biden administration to combat fees it says pose an unnecessary burden on American consumers, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck.

The change could potentially eliminate billions of dollars in fee revenue for the nation’s biggest banks, which were gearing up for a battle even before Wednesday’s announcement. Exactly how much revenue depends on which version of the new regulation is adopted.

Banks charge a customer an overdraft fee if their bank account balance falls below zero. Overdraft started as a courtesy offered to some customers when paper checks used to take days to clear, but proliferated thanks to the growing popularity of debit cards.

Well, you said you don’t get why people don’t love this president. That’s an obvious reason.

I don’t love that he’s a genocide collaborator. That’s why his Democratic support is so low.

When has any US president not been friendly towards Isreal, no matter what the IDF is doing?

Well thats two different things and a very broad definition. I, for example, am american and pay my taxes. Im just as much a collaborator therefore unless I stop paying my taxes or supporting the US, no? Now granted I don’t want to support genocide but there are some rather severe consequences for me if I don’t pay my taxes. And is that enough. I mean we are talking genocide. Should I actively fight? That would involve violence on my part. Would I be slipping into being just as bad as the genociders? The idea of pinning the israeli things on him is a step to far for me.

Okay even if you’re voting for Biden, you don’t have to love him and that’s what this is about.

Ah yes, I forgot Biden is personally committing genocide in a country he’s not president of.

Ah right, good ole “I didn’t get my hands dirty, therefore I’m not culpable”

He is playing defense for the current Israeli regime, helping keep it propped up not just through aid and arms, but through diplomatic pressures as well. He’s not solely responsible for Netenyahu and his cronies actions… but that doesn’t mean his hands are completely clean, either.

You’re talking about Joe “I’m a Zionist” Biden right? Joe “I did not ask for a ceasefire” Biden?

You think just cause he’s not personally pulling the trigger of a gun he’s not culpable?

He personally bypassed Congress to send them more weapons.

So you’re ignoring the vote yesterday when 72/100 senators voted to continue supporting the war? How is that bypassing Congress when Congress approved it. And I assume you think Trump will do a better job? Well maybe you’ll get what you’re wishing for and we’ll end up in a Christian dictatorship. I’m sure that’ll be soooooooo much better than what we have now.
