your credit card don't mean nothing to me

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2019.06.17

Today I tried to add my Visa card to PayPal; I was declined, so I called the bank but was given the run-around. The first two people I spoke to said they couldn't figure out what was happening, and I was then placed on hold for so long I gave up. I don't know why banks think they can do this sort of thing, it's not like I can't be approved for another credit card in fifteen minutes.

So that's what I did. Farewell to my last big bank. Hopefully ever.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
