    That is a consequence of having banks in the first place, which is still far better than stuffing your matress full of cash.

    Could this hurt the economy?
    Also bank can refuse withdrawals if necessary, right?

    Lastly, where people will put the money. We don't want carry cash like idiots, do we.

    I say give it up, Bank wins no matter what.

    Put the money into credit unions. I use a credit union and don't use banks.

    Apparently this is still going ahead. I'm interested to see what happens, if anything.

    If this happens I will be glad that I don't have my money in a French bank.

    Yea...take your money out of the bank, take it home, and put it under your mattress. Then, go out and protest while the thieves hit the homes and take your money. Then, you will wish you had your money in the bank but will not have it to put back after you are done making your point...which your point is you're an idiot. ;)

    lol the whole point of this thing is that going out and protesting is outdated, so I doubt they will do that.

    So, how is the run on banks doing? I checked the newspaper, but I suppose the Man is suppressing the news.

    So I guess the opinions and beliefs of glynch are not those of the majority? I'm shocked. Or not.

    That was my initial reaction. But, since you apparently have to give prior notice for large withdrawals, 1,500 is probably just a tier in the paperwork -- as in anywhere between 1,500 and 1 gazillion Euros.

    Makes sense. I hope, for the sense of being able to mock the story, we learn that he did withdraw 1500 Euros at some point.

    I am SHOCKED that an initiative spread via Facebook could end in such a complete and utter failure.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go change my profile pic to Scooby Doo in order to combat child abuse.
