You'll forgive me for being a bit flippant again, IP, I'm not interested in dealing with finances at the moment for personal reasons, not that I wouldn't consider banking with Garvey and BLM in the future,
With regards to NatWest, I don't know anything about them either, the name "National Westminster Bank" suggests a link to government, but then I suppose all banks have links to government, so I've no idea, it was just the one that was offering the best deal at uni when I first had to open an account, and I've stuck with them so far,
I don't even really know what the difference between a "building society" and a "bank" is, I always thought a building society was a kind of co-operative or mutual aid group, whereas a bank was a private enterprise for shareholders, but that still doesn't really explain the subtleties of the difference in legal status between the two types of financial institutions to me,
I know that Abbey National used to be a building society but became a bank, names and labels are funny things and as you say just silly, I never thought of coins and paper as being two types of currency before, perhaps the idea really does go back to ancient times, at any rate, Abbey National sounds like it is linked to the church, but who knows, that might be all branding propaganda as well,
Don't know if there are any Jamaican banks, would be curious about that, it's probably all still under the auspices of the bank of england and the fed to be honest,
They say only Cuba and North Korea have truly independent banks these days and some people say now it's only North Korea, but there's been a one world government since the time of Kemet, if not before, so I'm not sure it is anything to worry about,
Of course boundaries are necessary, because without them we would all become soup and nobody would be able to perceive anything except bright light, a beautiful vision but a boring one to my mind,
The coffee trade has been hit hard by COVID, but it seems to be picking up a little now,
To be honest it was ailing way back in 2018 when people decided that it was a crude form of metaphore for blackness, coffee really isn't that subtle in taste for a lot of people, however it dates back to Eithiopia as far as I know, so I think the real reason is the abuse of ownership that has come about with the introduction of companies like Starkbucks and Nero,
Anwyay, oil and not electricity remains the main driver of the economy, let us just hope that this can continue without endangering us all,
Climate change remains the major obsticle to growth, barring godly intervention from the Orishas or Jinn (ETs_ it seems to me that we will have to be more disciplined if we are to survive a drop in population levels, I personally do not put much faith in the stars, but I do think politicians are coming to their senses now about how serious the issue is,
LEt us pray that humanity continues to put itself first, and also love and respect life as it is everywhere,
As one meme I saw had the Earth saying to man, "Stop trying to save me already, I'll be fine, it's you guys who are f*cked!"
