      I've picked these two because of their environmental commitments, but I'm leaning towards Amalgamated since it's based in the East Coast.

      Edit: Unfortunately, Beneficial is only in the West

      Lately I've been thinking about withdrawing most if not all my money off the bank and investing in a safe box, but I'm not sure how wise of a decision that is. How does everyone here go about that? Do you keep your money in the bank? Do you have a safe box at home? Why one over the other? Do you invest some of it, say in things like cryptocurrencies/stocks? What would you recommend or advice someone to do in regards to this if you could?

    47. Banking regulations and collateral damage: Tweetstorm by patio11

      @Patrick McKenzie: Unfortunately the way this is usually implemented is "X stamps and we fire you as a customer."In much of the world, banks are not obligated to continue doing business with people who cause them lots of headaches or cost, and the headaches/cost are not evenly distributed. https://t.co/tufbFyRitG
