theothersarahh Good! 🖕shake shack!!!

Hate to break it to you but this is all banks regardless of size Government should have done a better job on incentivizing banks on processing smaller payroll loans than larger. They did try with a tiered commission but it wasn’t effective enough. As a reminder, people should never want big government cause they rarely get things done right Unethical
