The #Biden Administration once again writes rules that turn monopolies into competitive markets. This time: banks.

Switching costs are real. And now quantified for banking.

Reminder: monopolists and oligarchs pay lip service to “competition.” That’s why they are suing to stop this final reg.

💯 Totally on board with this. I read Cory's article this morning and realized that is exactly what I was complaining to my banker about a few months back. I would love to give #RBC the boot but it would just be so painful and costly. It should be as easy as changing cell phone provider (or #Mastodon instance for that matter).

Then again these new rules are only for USA. Canadian banks will continue to rape and pillage til the cows come home.
