Once you acknowledge their bias, they do know an awful lot about banking

Sure, but I really don't. And a lot of other folks are the same. I know they are both biased and have financial incentives to lie or mislead me. As much as I might try, I know I might not be able to parse out the bullshit from the facts. Those facts are gonna stink of the bullshit even if I can verify it.

At least with something like a plumber, I can get a second opinion and so on, and I might just be able to take care of the issue myself instead. This just isn't the case with a bank.

Funny, nobody is talking about Bitcoin or Decentralized Finance as a solution (or even a hedge) to this problem.
Ummm, they are? See Balaji's million dollar bitcoin bet.
