The amount of cash a branch has on hand really depends on what day of the week you happen to go on, what estimates the bank has for what will be needed that day, cash orders from business clients, and a variety of other factors. I managed a WaMu branch for 4 years.

I'm not taking it personally, and I don't mean to offend you personally either, but I can no longer be a part of a conversation that is not based on reality.

Money in and of itself has never had any value, even when we were on the gold standard. The value of money is now, and has always been the fact that it is readily excepted as a means of trade. Money is the only way to move past a basic agrarian economy, and even in an agrarian economy it is needed to have any kind of prosperity. Money is not a "lesser evil" it is necessary for our way of life.

Then you should be able to do it quite easily.

Seriously!?!?!?!? Of all the ignorance in this thread, this has to be the top of the cake. If this is really what you think, then you need to learn some history. Medical technology, didn't really exist a hundred years ago. In large cities water was filthy and contaminated with feces, rotting animals, etc...Meat was a luxury food, and was not eaten on a daily basis. People used techniques like blood letting to cure disease because they had no idea at all what caused them, or how to get rid of them. Come on man, I really can't believe you are an actual person who has these thoughts. What do you want to pay your electricity bill and car payment by putting hundreds of pounds of corn in the mail to pay them? I really hope you are joking, it makes me feel stupider just being in this conversation with you.

I feel like, here in Houston anyways, I see them more than any other "supercar" or "super expensive car". I kid you not, I've seen three in a grocery store parking lot at the same time. Of course, their cooler than anything I've ever owned.

Because you cannot stop whatever you put value in by being manipulated by people with more power than you. The capitalist money/credit based system that we have now is what is allowing you and I to live better lives than anybody has ever lived in human history. Take a serious look at life in the past, and do it without the rose colored glasses. Until recently basic life necessities have been very difficult to obtain. If what you are upset about is some people having lots of money than you should just go out and make some yourself. This will require intelligence and hard work, and will not happen over night. I can't believe you are serious about what you are asking though.

Oh, actual resources, wow. I don't think that is remotely realistic, beneficial, or good in any way.

Fixed for realism and entertainment.

If the US were to go back to a "resource" based economy, although I think you probably mean a resource based currency (backed by gold, silver, or some other commodity), you would not have been able to get a loan to buy your car, and most people wouldn't be able to get home loans or other types of credit without very large cash down payments. As far as interest creating more money, this is completely true. In fact Albert Einstein said, "The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest." I think people who want to go back to the gold standard and completely get rid of government debt have their hearts in the right place, but are completely unrealistic if we want to live the kind of lives we do today.

I'VE GOT TO GO TO LUNCH NOW, BUT I'VE HAD FUN WITH YOU GUYS IN THIS THREAD! THANKS FOR MAKING MY MORNING MORE INTERESTING. I CAN'T STOP YELLING!

LOUD NOISES!

I'm sure if we ever met in person we would get along better than on this website. j/k, I would probably still think you were a douche. The only difference would be that I would be able to hear the people around me agree, instead of just reading their replys.

Now I see your game Z-bag. If you want to see me "in action", just ask, you don't have to make this whole thread just to "go there". Here's a sexy pic of me and my Ben for you to stick on the gauge cluster of your Z while you drive around with no pants knowing that you will never have my taco flavored kisses. http://www.newcelica.org/photopost/data/500/sp_0705_07_v6.jpg

Are all 350Z/370Z owners like this? Is there something about this particular car that attracts douche bags?

I love me some Land Cruisers Land Cruiser

+1. I eat like a fat person + work out a bunch = stay average.

I've done 6000K on my cars in the past, and have been very happy with the color. Are you going to get new housings too?

Here is a shop in houston that has done RX-8 swaps before and has a very good reputation for them. http://www.secretservicesauto.com/

Looks great!!

I have been very happy with ESET.

Hmm... I found my dad, who wasn't mormon, and other family members.

The Mormon Church has one of the best genealogy databases around. Here are a couple of free sites they run that I have found helpful: http://www.ancestorhunt.com/mormon_church_records.htm https://www.familysearch.org/ To anybody who is thinking off topic, no, I am not Mormon and I am not promoting the religion, just the great genealogy records.

I'm over 25 and I wouldn't even waste my spit on a cop if I saw one on fire.
