For those of us in the banking industry, this is no campfire-story stuff, either. My bank just completed taking over a small town, possibly hurting bank. Even though I'm (relatively) anonymous here, I wouldn't discuss details, but this is not going to be isolated. This is going to get worse. I want to work in horticulture.
