well to many they need a single, simple enemy they can blame for their failures in life. why not pick banks who rob everybody and steal everything, control whole world and are worse than worst dictators?

simple solutions to simple people (almost no pun intended)

(and lets face it, some sometime behave badly, and their missteps can be costly to their customers. but if any bank behaved like for example apple or microsoft did in past, they would be shut down immediately by regulators).

I like being called simple. It's like the jerkiness of insults. And you're right, if banks ever brought the world to financial ruin like Microsoft and Apple did they would be regulated out of existence. But stupid Microsoft and Apple instead got bailouts by the same regulators and continue to exist with even more power than before they did that thing.

Unless I'm missing the sarcasm, so tell me if I am.
