Because books.

I just saw one of those on Twitter, and at first I thought, Oh, how cool, you can see where his hand pressed down harder, and then voila! A portrait. Freaky and wonderful.

I'm having a mini flip-out about my signing tonight, and what to wear, and all the stuff I have to do. Deep breaths.

So, Bank of America is dropping their debir card fee.

Do any of these companies think before they act? Netflix, B of A...

Thrive to spite them

I think in both cases neither company thought they'd lose customers and they did. I can't remember how many with netflix lost but I know there were campaigns with Bank of America for people to share their accounts on closing their bank accounts.

And it wasn't just BoA,there was a push for people to switch from any bank to credit unions.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I guess the government passed some law limiting some fees that banks could charge, so B of A decided they were still entitled to make the same amount of money as before, so they just invented a new fee.

Perhaps some B of A executives didn't want to lose their bonuses so they just added the new fee to see if it would stick....
