This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My guess is that forcing you to withdraw cash or write checks is more profitable for one of the most under-regulated industries in the world in one of the most under-regulated countries in the world 🤷

Just how backwards do you think we are? I haven't written a check for at least ten years. Everything is electronic now.
