I'm more concerned about the feedback loops that punish poor people for being poor. Stuff like monthly fees on bank accounts, being thrown in jail for failure to pay child support (in the process losing one's job), etc. It's expensive to be poor in the United States.

British retail banking is by all accounts even worse. (It's certainly bad enough in an absolute sense. But I never had first-hand experience with the US system to compare.)
