Mistakes

 

We all make mistakes. Even me.


Many moons ago, that many I run out of fingers, I was doing OK.


I worked hard and long hours, spent little, owned my own home, had wife and two kids and brewed my own beer. Basically I lived a normal life.


I had a few bob in “investments” that I allowed to grow without attention.


Then I allowed my funds to be placed in a fund run by a typical Wellingtonian by the name of Renouf.


Mr Renouf, being as I noted, a Wellingtonian, got into trouble and was taken over by a Mr Judge.


I could have taken about 10c in the $ at that stage and run but Mr Judge was known (of) to me as one of a family my father (an ex-NZ rep) played tennis with.


They were (ChCh people will explain) of the Fendalton/first ships crowd.


I allowed my finances to be forwarded to an outfit called Ariadne.


There they remain!


I started again but without the investments I also had no wife and just one child.


Single Parent.


After a run of learning new skills while working low paying jobs I eventually became my own boss, retiring, despite scum like Bridges, Joyce and the communist cunt, with comfortable means (although certainly not rich)


I tell this story because, despite the National/Labour/financier scum, I accepted I’d made mistakes and worked to overcome the results.


Not so the people Icomment about now or their advocates.

 

 The headline:

‘Appalling on all levels’ – Experts slam ANZ for failing to prevent $250k scam


These people, having badly fucked up, are blaming the tool they used (their bank) because they fucked up.


Now that would be fair enough if the bank was at fault, if the bank’s job was to protect fuckwits from themselves, but its not.


The bank stores your money and, if required, lends you some. That is how it works. That is the bank’s only job!


The bank is not there to tell you when or where you can spend your money, its not there to be your parent.


The bank takes your money, makes a profit with that money and returns to you, with interest, that money. The profit (your return) is based on the balance of profit v loss. If the bank has to pay for someone else’s fuck up, the bank doesn’t pay, YOU DO!


These people decided to give their money to fraudsters (not even the NZ Labour Party) and now want the bank to carry the cost.


If you use the same bank these people want you to pay for their fuck up.

Banks Are Not Policemen

 The Headline:

Family 'gobsmacked' after bank tellers help widow with dementia withdraw $300k

The headline should have read: Greedy Family Worried They May Have Missed Out On Something.

Banks are not policemen! Trading banks exist so people don't need to carry around large amounts of cash. People may still want to do so and, if they have the assets, they can.

If a client of a bank makes a legitimate transaction it's the responsibility of the client, not the bank, to ensure the security.

That, when you think about it is the way we all should want it. The last thing you (I, anyone) want is to explain to a fucking bank why you need a new pair if knickers.

If the greedy, lazy bastards in this story hadn't been so fucking lazy they would have talked to a shyster about limiting the access of the lady to her own money.

Of course this may have resulted in a new will removing the greedy bastards but hey, such is life.

This story is the most recent in an ongoing series of non-stories produced by pathetic communist scum attempting to destroy society (I suspect inadvertently - they're not the sharpest knives in the drawer) so other scum can impose dictatorship of the unwashed.

It's time the slime stopped presenting them!

Setting New Standards

 In a country proving itself to contain complete and utter morons, every one of whom's utterances are duly reported on news sites front pages, no doubt by fellow morons, the bar in stupidity is constantly being lowered.

The latest attempt comes in the headline noted today in several msm sites:

Overseas aid falls further in Budget

 The country, thanks to the scum who voted communist in '17 and '20, is broke and seriously in debt.

The country doesn't have any money to spare!

Any sensible money managers would have cancelled ALL overseas aid and applied for some FOR New Zealand.

Giving away money we don't have is moronic, mourning the fact we aren't giving away more, completely bloody stupid.

Very much a new low. It's going to be interesting just how the slime top bottom(?) that.
