I'm not a fan of banks myself in fact some of my policy's will cut out the middleman that is banks that the public use to cash their checks too.
Businesses issue checks to other businesses for payment of goods/services. ACH payments only happen for companies who have recurring timely payments of equal amounts (such as rent). Some instances for amounts of various sizes, but constant time.
But you can't issue an ACH for payments that do not reoccur, such as paying the plumber for fixing the toilet from last night's Taco Bell splurge. And ACH doesn't exist for consumer to consumer.
There are lots of checks made, not everything is direct deposit, and you are practically demanding that nobody put their money in a secure location...
i never said i would make it illegal you jump to too many of your own conclusions money and checks are not going away.
just central banking you know your favorite banking system that destroys nations economies and devalues the citizens currency and causes inflation on goods making them more expensive for the citizens every few years.
Just as a side note that "low" end Winchester 73 at 40 dollars is almost 900 dollars in today's money. Just about what a Medium AR might cost you today.
now its like 200- 400,000 for some good hardware that's still legal to use and own
thank the inflation from the the federal reserve and government regulations on the citizens 2nd amendment rights.
What about the fact that Canada has more guns per capita/person than the average US citizen?
And yet people still get mugged (less violently) because 2 or 3 people staking out an ATM or willing to bludgeon a guy after a night out at the bar is easy pickings. And a drunken fool with a gun is more likely to shoot a bystander/innocent than the people robbing his drunk ***.
Or the fact that the Federal Reserve isn't the cause of LG's so called "Debt Slavery", but the fact that people have so little impulse control, and use their credit cards to buy things they can't afford? Oh wait, they can pay off credit and debt in installments for an additional price. Because borrowing money when something goes wrong also happens.
Or that almost 90% of all debt incurred in the US comes from accidents, resulting in time off work, lack of insurance (because paying for insurance is for suckers!), or any kind of credit instability due to identity theft/mistaken identity doesn't happen!

It's Friday, my work is caught up, I'm waiting on a phone call, and my phone battery can only handle so much gaming. Poor thing needs replaced soon.

Hey, do you mind?
Rampant consumerism may not be the best system, but it's the one we've got and it's all that's keeping us afloat, okay?
Well, that was fun and all, but now LG is going to get on his Nazi platform. Fun times.

Banks are the only entity allowed to issue checks. By outlawing banks, you are also outlawing every service a bank provides, which includes (but not limited to) check issuance.
Like I said before, you wish to destroy commerce. Without commerce, nobody can have a job, nobody can have stuff, nobody can do anything. No more food, no more shelter, no more clothing, and that's the basic 3 things people need to survive. Congratulations, you just incited a riot.

I mean come on now, you still haven't answered my very simple questions regarding the Federal Reserve and interest. Those are basic questions one would need to know just to profess knowledge in the subjects.
And don't use the "you won't like my answer" non-answer. I already told you to try me. Stop beating around the bush and give your answers already.

A 9 mm Glock costs about $40 today, still will kill you before you even brought your Winchester to bear on somebody.

I would say that number to be less than 10%! Remember, you said all debt and not all consumer debt!

All the Federal Reserve does is try to control inflation by using limited tools at it's disposal. Quantitative Easing is one of them (abet not that helpful in the long run), along with controlling interest rates of loans to other banks.
...oh ***, I just revealed part of the answer to the "Federal Reserve" question.

No you got to do something romantic like win a buggy race churn more butter or grow a more manly beard. Then after you win your lovers affection you have the pressure of having like 8 kids !
rough standards,
all i did was ask the love of my life in-game the day after valentine's day if she would be my valentines the next year, she said yeah, then i asked if she would be my valentine the year after that, she said yeah, then i got ambitious and asked her if she would be my valentine for 50 or more years till death do we part she said yeah.
We met up out of game and let me tell you love is real and it takes work to make it perfect we are happily married. I'm going to show Bill Clinton how to be a faithful husband he tainted the oval office.

But do you have a minigun?!
Fun fact on this. Writing via Cracked "7 Items You Won't Believe Are Actually Legal"
Quote:
Quite possibly the most deadly infantry weapon ever designed. The M134 General Electric Minigun is an incredibly badass-looking gun with the capacity of firing up to one-hundred-and-sixty-six times per second...Unfortunately, there are only something like eleven civilian-legal miniguns in the USA. Most of them are in private hands, but one occasionally comes back up on the market.
The going rate for your average minigun is around $400,000. But that's not the only expense you'll have. The minigun will require an extensive mounting system. Contrary to what you have heard, firing one of these by yourself would lead to severe blunt trauma, and a huge machine gun shooting wildly into the air. It's also going to be expensive to feed: one second of firing the minigun will set you back about sixty bucks. That's $3600 for a full minute of shooting...
The National Firearms Act states that any fully automatic weapons constructed before 1986 are legal for a civilian possessing a Class 2 permit to own. The few miniguns that were on the market by then remained legal, and have been circulating around the country for years. No crimes have ever been reported committed by a minigun-wielding criminal, which might be because billionaires so rarely hold up 7-11's. So, until Ted Turner finally snaps, mounts a GE Minigun on his golden H2 and guns down a muffin kiosk, you can expect the 11 or so miniguns on the market to remain legal."

Banks and Credit Unions function primarily the same. Their legal classification are the same (which allows CUs to issue checks).
The only real difference is ownership, where CUs are owned by the members of the CU, while banks are privately owned (or publicly traded) for-profit enterprises.
Think of it as a for-profit business vs. non-profit business, both of which sells the same service. Both services are sold at the same rate and price, and have the same quality, but structures can be very different.
Either way, you are right about the functionality of a CU and bank, and she is right about the ownership of a CU vs. bank.
This notion that the banks are the boogey man coming in your house at night to steal your children is only half true !

I'm just making fun of all the crazy liberals bashing Bush back in the day. You know we only go to war for oil and all !
The real reason we go to war is because who is going to stop us ?
