I feel so much cognitive dissonance realizing that there are hard working people literally losing their home and shelter wrongly while I might be sitting across from them at any time, expecting them to behave within normal social boundaries.

Imagine a family with a new born, working 50+ hours at a physically demanding job, making $80k/yr combined, and then losing their home for no reason... and then being expected to do everything else right while dealing quietly.

Incidents like this make it easier for me to understand "protest voting" against the system politically. Not sure of constructive ways to prevent this more broadly.

I don't understand why anyone still does business with Wells Fargo.

I didn't have much of a choice. They bought our mortgage.

Example number ten thousand of why the "vote with your dollars and don't do business with them" defense of capitalism fails completely in practice.
