I don't know what people you know, but the folks I know in the US aren't particularly happy about banks.

Occupy Wallstreet had a huge, lasting impact on the way much of the population views the banking and finance industry.

> government gave the rich a massive tax cut and slowly started to loosen banking restrictions.

The tax cuts are not specifically for the banking or finance industry.

They don't want to be liked, they just want to be rich. People have hated bankers since they were invented.

Google however is failing horribly at the "getting rich" part. Sure they are successful, but the EU is taking a massive chunk of their business with GDPR. California is trying to impose similar measures, and if they keep this up others will follow. The hammer of regulation will dampen their profits.
