they do everything big in texas...and that includes grand theft as well as stolen ballot boxes...
and so, completely uninvited and/or/provoked, some scammer outfit in austin texas called netspend all-access, promising me that i can get my paycheck "up to two days earlier!" ( presumanbly so i can move closer to bankruptcy by spending more quickly ) has sent me a debit card, replete with computer chip and with my name spelled correctly so i can access my hard won earnings through their...i am uncertain here...bank? savings and loan?payday loan store?...they claim my deposits will be "fdic insured up to $250,000" through the kind services of something called pathward national association...which, per their website, engages in "banking as a service" (BaaS)...what might that be?____

However, a banking-as-a-service partnership means that companies can seamlessly integrate financial services directly into their existing platforms while avoiding the hassle of government rules and licensing that starting a bank would require. "___oh...those pesky regulations setting limits on just what a half-bright texas boy with a full head of hair, good teeth, and a glib line of bullshit might be able to do for himself...things become clearer...being paid faster so i can spend faster and, no doubt, be subject to some "hidden fees"? nah..i still remeber "credit default swaps" and lehman brothers...sure they tightened up the regulation after that meltdown...but memory is short and the time has come again for bold new innovations in the banking sector that feed the greed imperative that drives the economy ( and, as if i need point it out, the government on every level...debt as national policy...reduce the population to debt penury and pay them enough to service the interest on their debt in perpetuity...the whores are transparent by dint of their unrelenting hubris )...money is an abstract expression of work...and i have no desire to work for the aggrandizement of some yahoo ( in the swiftian sense ) from fucking texas...i will take a pass...but the unactivated debit card goes into the archives...fuck these people.
