“Money – everyone needs it, it’s crucial to the functioning of our economy. It is a very strange decision to allow the control of money that is so crucial to us all to be in the hands of something we call private banks who say honestly that their first objective is to make profit for their shareholders. Well that’s a very strange thing to do if we all need it as as a collective good why are we allowing a private decision-maker to sit on top of it?”
