Thank you for your comments. Are Bankers held in high regard in any political quarter, even here, at one of the major advocates for the Free Market Doctrine? The decline of the ‘Banker’ is an idea that seems to be widespread!

Headline:Traditional banks are becoming obsolete, by Milena Kabza 

‘Even the representatives of the banking sector are openly admitting that the traditional role and model of banks will undergo significant changes in ten or more years.

“The glory days of banking have ended for good, but customers will still need services provided by banks,” said Cezary Stypułkowski, the CEO of mBank (owned by ‎Commerzbank), at the Impact Fintech’17 conference in Katowice, Poland.

Bankers believe that the role of banks is changing. In light of the development of modern technologies, they are well aware that banks should be building customers’ trust towards new solutions, such as finte      ch’s services. Bank branches will continue to exist, but there will be fewer of them – which can be already noticed – and their operations will change. The majority of customer services and transaction activities will disappear, while consulting services will remain. Industry representatives are already seriously taking into consideration the utilization of robots in this field. Bank branches will also retain significance in terms of marketing.

…Republican approval ratings of Trump would point to a huge surge in trust to the establishment a-la-Trump – what to make of that?’

If you have followed the Mueller investigation the Russians have disappeared ,due to his attempt to limit the Discovery phase of the Russian Troll Farm’s ability to share that with each of the indited persons:

Headline: Judge rejects Mueller’s request for delay in Russian troll farm case

Sub-headline: Russian firm linked to Putin’s chef accuses special counsel of ‘pettifoggery.’

 And on Comey there is this investigative report:

Headline: Despite Comey Assurances, Vast Bulk of Weiner Laptop Emails Were Never Examined

In fact, a technical glitch prevented FBI technicians from accurately comparing the new emails with the old emails. Only 3,077 of the 694,000 emails were directly reviewed for classified or incriminating information. Three FBI officials completed that work in a single 12-hour spurt the day before Comey again cleared Clinton of criminal charges.

“Most of the emails were never examined, even though they made up potentially 10 times the evidence” of what was reviewed in the original year-long case that Comey closed in July 2016, said a law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Yet even the “extremely narrow” search that was finally conducted, after more than a month of delay, uncovered more classified material sent and/or received by Clinton through her unauthorized basement server, the official said. Contradicting Comey’s testimony, this included highly sensitive information dealing with Israel and the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hamas. The former secretary of state, however, was never confronted with the sensitive new information and it was never analyzed for damage to national security.

The why of Trumps political viability, in the minds of his voters, might be explained by the incompetence and mendacity of the Mueller/Comey duo!

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
