Yes he made that clear. Then when folks started getting riled up Mary jumped in and as any good husband and wife team they saved it together

“The B&L had 30 or 60 days, I can’t remember the exact line, to close out the account, unlike a regular bank.”

60 days.

Watching the movie right now. That line passed just seconds ago. :-)

Strangely, when you google Henry Potter, Harry Potter pops up without a correction. I’ve never seen that before. Usually, it will say “did you mean...” and then supply an alternate search term.

I like Harry Potter’s architecture. I think the appeal is it fills in a void left by Catholicism and the other churches that used to be high churches.

In the U.S., Harry is often short for Harold. In the U.K., where of course Potter is from, Harry is often short for Henry or, by extension, Heinrich.

Quite true. He convinced the depositors to withdraw only what they needed so that everybody could at least get some.

In addition, Bailey CHOSE to loan people money to buy "affordable housing", rather than being forced to by the government.

Tha author of this piece is deliberately distorting the movie.
