CA sold us out to Bank of America

Corporations have too much control, and our government is giving that control away. This time it's a contract with Bank Of America to disperse unemployment funds. I hope you get as mad about this as I am. I think this is just another example of the plight of the 99% in the Occupy Wall Street movement.

and also BOA doesnt make u go online to set up funds transfer its ur choice to go online i just called and the rep helped me set up a funds transfer.

@MrLovelyone1 honestly, I'd rather just get a check from EDD and not have to go through all this bureaucracy so BofA can get more cents out of me. If you don't care, you don't care. But we're talking about control of our government going into the hands of big corporate banks.

[MrLovelyone1]

you dont get any fees for having an EDD Debit Card. You should zoom in to the schedule of fees and you will see that there is no fee for using the card. I want my food stamps to be in a McDonalds card that way i can be fat like you!!!!!!

[maryvannotes]

@MrLovelyone1 There are fees for getting money out of the ATM.

FURTHERMORE. I just want to say that it takes a lot of courage to part from the rat race, follow your dreams and just go for it. In that respect, I admire you. In a perfect world I would pursue acting but instead I'm working a couple of jobs I hate and I go in every day knowing I'm not following my passion. As are many, many people. Maybe someone out there wishes they could play their tuba for a living, idk. So. ignore everyone, all those naysayers, and just keep at it.

[maryvannotes]

@nessabell05 Thank you so much!

[maryvannotes]

@justmks Sure, but I'm upset that our government is giving this work away to BofA instead of just making more state jobs. I don't think corporations should be that tapped into our government!

[MrLovelyone1]

@GriffinPoint BANK OF AMERICA IS NOT MAKING N E MONEY FROM UNEMPLOYMENT THATS WHY EDD IS USING BANK OF AMERICA BECAUSE BANK OF AMERICA IS NOT GOING TO CHARGE THEM SHIT

[MrLovelyone1]

@maryvannotes but other than that basically the only fees are replacement cards being sent express and wus fee of 15.00 the only thing that sucks about these card is the gas holds for 75.00 which take 72 hours to release maybe u should speak with one of those reps and u will see i spent a couple min. reviewing the fees with a rep and they got me to understand the fees

[MrLovelyone1]

@maryvannotes I have one of these cards if ur using a BOA atm its free for these edd card if ur using it at any other atm other than BOA u get charged i believe one dollar

[MrLovelyone1]

@Hardlign BOA isnt charging the state n e thing the state gets to use this program for free

I can only think of 2 guys in security agent suits with cool shades coming to pick you up while you're talking against government and put you in a huge suv. But seriously good luck with everything, you're a good person and deserve good things in life.
