Sad state of the Union.
But... But...
Closing these offices means the local residents will have to drive FARTHER to find a bank to rob!!!
Dat’s RASSIST!!
All the millions and ,millions of dollar made by black athletes — when are they going to do something for the neighborhoods where they grew up in?
Directive 10-289, anyone?
They should open a branch of the Al Sharpton National Bank.
What will we rob, where will we loot? Where will we cash our gubermint checks? What’s profitability got to do with it?
It’s a bank. Find a different one. Just as if the neighborhood liquor store closes. Find a different one.
Stop crying racism for every little problem in your lives.
In my nice middle class area, two Coco’s family restaurants, plus a Ruby’s Diner, a 50s themed place, recently closed.
And a tanning salon/beauty salon place also closed.
So these places became empty storefronts.
The point is, businesses come and go, and close down all the time. I’m sure Chase had business reasons to close these branches.
So what is going on? From now on, a business in certain special areas needs to get permission before moving or closing a branch? Will they have to somehow prove they aren’t racist when they make business decisions??? What the heck kind of world are we devolving into???
Once banks go black,
They always go back
Even banks are smart enough to move away from MLK Drive in any city.
I do all my banking there.
(do I really need the tag?)
If I figure right, there’s four other banks within a mile or so (according to Google maps).
Regardless of what the statistics show, pointing out the link between blacks and crime is labeled as racist, even if it’s the truth. Instead of crying racist and “I’m-a-victim” every time it’s pointed out, how about directing that wasted energy towards ending the link and turning the problem around. How about Al and Jesse figuring out a solution to the problems that are internal to the black community instead of worrying about the amount of face time they get on TV. Blacks probably know where to start, but as an outsider, perhaps a starting place is with the deterioration of the black family unit. Until we see movement from within the black community to address their own internal problems, I think we’ve thrown enough public money at that problem with little in return.
let them visit the banks on Robert E. Lee Blvd
Well, let's not be envious, that doesn't look good on anyone. Did Mr. Brown think that maybe part of the reason these businesses are doing so well is that, well, they make good business decisions? Like:
Chase told RTV6 that both branches had low volume and would be consolidated with the branch at 28 N. Meridian St.
Imagine that! Chase, and other businesses, are not in business to make your life easier. They are not in business to make a social statement. In broad strokes, businesses provide products and/or services. If a location isn't selling enough product or services to cover the overhead of maintaining that site, it is just good business to cut your losses.
This may come as a shock to the likes of Jesse, Al, and libtards everywhere but sometimes, people do and say things, make decisions...and it has absolutely nothing to do with race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Gasp! Heresy! See, to a liberal, every one and every thing is labeled - the ultimate racism/genderism/sexism/ and many other -isms.
BofA has closed about 20% of their branches in the last 5 years, and is planning to close more.
At the beginning of the year, JPM Chase announced that they were closing 300 branches this year or next.
I seem to recall a story that Wells Fargo, the bank for Gays, is the only major expanding its footprint these days.
Yup. Thy have been taught this by their overlord libtard plantation agitators.
38th Street is the running “Amish” joke in local Indy news comments.
Seems like half of the major crimes reported happen on that street
As soon as I read “Martin Luther King Jr. St”, I said to myself; Self, I know why that particular branch is closing.
Interesting, I do not think I have ever seen a Martin Luther King Jr. St. They seem to mostly be Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
You go to the bank to get money for that’s where the money is.
You flee from the ghettos because that’s where the money ain’t and they will kill you for it.
The best way to solve the problem of closing unprofitable businesses in minority ares is not to open them there in the first place. That will be the solution and then they’ll be yelling racism,too.
