I'm trying to think who my dream artist might be.

The Bangles is the first thing that popped into my head, but a group like The Breeders would be cool.

What about Garbage? Too weird?

They are going to start charging $5 a month for debit card use.

Garbage would be fun, actually.

Wow, and not just BoA.

Other large U.S. banks including Wells Fargo & Co, JPMorgan Chase & Co and SunTrust Banks Inc are already testing or plan to fully roll out monthly debit card fees.

Somehow, I can't make my heart bleed because banks fee revenue is tanking. I do need to change banks anyway. Inertia.

The result of those fees is that way more people are going to be using cash again...

or perhaps credit cards?

Right? And I actually do better spending wise when I stick with cash. I just don't usually because of the convenience. But I can and happily will if I have to.

Will they still charge if you use it as a credit card instead of debit w/ pin, I wonder?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So, if I only use it to take out cash from their ATMs, I'm golden? But one swipe in a store and $5 is levied against me? Wow. That feels like a step backwards.

Citigroup says they won't do it. Any reason not to switch to Citibank when the time comes?
