Someone got me a Walmart green dot Visa gift card a few years ago for Christmas. Little did I know that in order to use it I had to sign up for what amounted to a bank account with all types of fees and over draft bullshit. Fast forward 2 years, they send me a statement (had never heard from them before this) saying that my account was overdrafted $250. So basically what I'm saying is Fuck Walmart

It's all a scam to siphon as much money as possible from the lower classes. Every step along the way the wealthy and powerful are parasitically depleting 99% of the population until nothing is left.
