The problem with keeping money in a bank is that in a blink of a tiger’s eye it will turn on you: what’s yours becomes theirs, what was your sweat and labor and sold off portions of a lifetime becomes strangers … Imagined in terms of the time - time spent earning wages that a bank holds - a bank can own more than half a man … as soon as you place your money in its mouth, it turns out that the tiger has got its teeth locked around your head. - Paolo Bacigalupi
