The Democrats have outsourced the crushing of freedom to private industry. If they can do this to General Flynn, just imagine what they can do to Joe Nobody when the move into high gear.

I don’t even know what Chase’s tag line is. Memorable marketing I guess.

Well, since a federally chartered commercial bank is required by law to serve the entire public in its service area

During the financial crisis credit card companies and banks cancelled credit lines out the wazoo.

Well, their old boss David Rockefeller was Secretly Behind Communism. Fired Khrushchev and replaced him with Brezhnev, you know.

Good grief, a while back PayPal went woke so I closed my account, then American Express went woke so I cancelled my card, now Chase which I’ve banked with for decades; perhaps I’ll just withdraw everything and stuff my mattress.

I can garuntee nothing from Chase bank, wells fargo. I have my credit Union card and 1 other, that is it. And those are paid off monthly.

I’m surprised that General Flynn doesn’t have USAA credit cards. They are much better than Chase or other commercial issuers.

I canceled him quite a while ago. Nothing he says ever comes through.

yes.
understood.
those were questionable business decisions (and Wells Fargo reversed its cancellation of customer lines of credit).
I think such cancellations should be prohibited, at least when they are imposed without reasonable, adequate notice to customers who are relying on them.

Having said all that, going out of line of business such that no one individual is singled out on improper grounds, could be defended as simply a long-term business strategy for the corporation. It is different when individual(s) are selected and culled out on purely political, religious, etc grounds. Much more pernicious.

When government does it directly, it is called leftism or communism or Nazism or “progressivism”... When big corporate business does it, it may be called fascism but it amounts to the same thing, same adverse impact on the country, society.
And here we have a business whose entire operation is conducted pursuant to a governmental license... so that the definitions, line between communism and fascism is especially blurred in this case. Again, for our society there is precious little actual different in the adverse impacts, no matter what termimology we apply

So...Chase, the bank that aided Bernie Madoff, claims they have a "reputation" to protect.

If getting fined $250M for conflicts of interest and missing internal controls wasn't enough,

JP Morgan Chase was fined more than $2 billion for failing to report Bernie Madoff's activities:

There are still some "smaller" banks that haven't succumbed to the corporate race to go woke and disenfranchise their clients.

This looks bogus to me. If a bank really sent this type of letter they would specify the account or accounts by number and name in the subject line and body of the message and I doubt the subject line would be called “Update”.

I think they found this to be fake.

Have a link for that (other than perhaps prog sites)?

Chase has ceased doing business with other conservative entities. I cancelled a card I had with them a long time as a result, and gave them the message: Get woke, go broke!
