So, I want to be very clear about this, as I don't think you should get to just sidestep this point as if it doesn't matter, and this is where the rubber hits the morality for me: are you seriously saying you believe that private money should simply not exist and that "when I call my bank there 100% should be a person there looking at my billing history getting to judge me for the things I buy and the places I shop and what those things imply about my sexual orientation (maybe you see me going to a specific bar a lot) or the medical conditions I have (based on the medications I am buying or the clinics I visit)"? As it stands, your comment seems to come off as the kind of authoritarian viewpoint that the narrative of the first world supposedly bristles against (even as it then pushes ridiculous agendas to build out the surveillance state... which I guess is you, huh ;P).
