Honestly, I wouldn't trust Google (or any other tech giant) to be my bank.
My bank doesn't have a history of locking people's accounts when they post "the wrong" political opinions online.
My bank doesn't have a plan to monetize access to my account, or to limit use of the account to only those activities of which the bank's army of woke employees approve.
That, though, is mostly about risk management -- and even if they close your account, you get the money back.
(I also would never do business with Bank of America, because they're awful and they hate their customers even more than Wells does)
But even BofA doesn't do things like read your Twitter posts and YouTube comments so they can blackhole your account if you have have the wrong politics.
The tech giants, on the other hand, will seize your stuff in a heartbeat if you step out of Silicon Valley's definition of acceptable beliefs and opinions.
My credit card works at any merchant -- and the fees are the same. I don't get hit with a temporary ban if I buy a Chick-fil-A sandwich, for example.

Marijuana, one of these recreational drugs, is not legal in the United States.. and banks are beholden to federal regulators. The “legality” of marijuana is in dispute because it’s still a federal crime. The Supremacy Clause overrides thèse state “legalizations.”
I am vastly in favor of states rights and the 10th Amendment, however states seem to only care about those things when it supports what they want to do.

I think I'll stick with a real bank, thanks.
