This could be a real problem.

JPMorgan Chase accused of purging accounts of conservative activists

JPMorgan Chase is under fire for closing the bank accounts of several customers in the conservative movement as other right-wingers are threatening to close their accounts unless the bank plays nice.

“If Jamie Dimon can’t absolutely guarantee that Chase Bank won’t ever discriminate against conservatives, conservatives should consider banking elsewhere,” warned David Almasi, vice president of the conservative-leaning National Center for Public Policy Research, referring to JPMorgan’s chairman and CEO.

JPMorgan first landed in hot water soon after conservative activists Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs, Laura Loomer and Martina Markota discovered their accounts at Chase were closed within weeks of each other earlier this year — and without satisfactory explanations, they claim.

...
Almasi, representing his group’s Free Enterprise Project, said Dimon assured him the bank has not pulled any more customer accounts. “But he stopped short” of saying it won’t do it in the future, Almasi added.

Nobody has ever heard of these people before. You really think people at JP Morgan sit around all day searching for obscure right wing activists to target?

SJWs at banks and insurance companies will start targeting conservatives. 10 years ago if you were to tell the average person how things have devolved in today's society, they would have thought you were crazy. Just imagine what 10 more years of SJW fun can bring.

I'd bet they got their accounts closed because there wasn't any money in them.

You guys are always saying liberals don't work and live on free handouts. So now they're running banks? Which one is it?

This is interesting. Don't many conservative posters here think that a private business should be able to refuse to do business with people they don't want to do business with?

Seems to me I've read that quite a few times here over the years.

FTR, as I've posted here many times, I think that a public business should serve any customer who walks through the door because such a business must have a license from the public. But that has always been a minority opinion here.
