I opened a bank account recently, and signed the signature card whilst in the bank. No deposit agreement was attached.

Some time later that day, the bank representative emailed me the deposit agreement, stating what I agree to by having the account.

How is this possibly enforceable?

(i know several LDS leaving for the same reasons.)

the concentration of anti-china "something must be done" narratives in news media have been sharply increasing in tone and quantity lately.

i suspect that consent for an imminent (hopefully only cold) war is being manufactured.

i don't think anyone in the usa is really ready for the consequences of such a decision, though.
