So, some consultant, probably paid off by Goldman Sachs, is saying 2026 is gonna be 'the year of the bank.' Yeah, right. Like we haven't seen this movie before. Booming deals, lighter regulations? Sounds like the prelude to another 2008, only this time they'll blame it on... [insert current woke scapegoat here].

For years, banks were playing second fiddle to the hedge fund bros and private equity pirates. Now, suddenly, they're back in the game? What changed? Oh, right, the rules. They always change the rules to benefit the guys who own the game.

'Lighter regulations' is code for 'we're gonna let them gamble with your money again.' Remember 'too big to fail'? It's back, baby! Only now it's 'too woke to fail,' because any criticism is, like, totally racist or something.

This 'booming deal market' they're talking about? Probably just more mergers and acquisitions, lining the pockets of the already rich while everyone else gets laid off. It's the circle of life, Wall Street edition. Except instead of lions and gazelles, it's bankers and taxpayers.

2026, the year of the bank? More like the year you get screwed over again. But hey, at least the bankers will be diverse and inclusive while they're doing it. Progress!

They'll be pushing ESG scores next, which are about as real as Hunter Biden's art skills. Basically, it's a scam to virtue signal while they continue to fleece the public.

I'm not saying all bankers are evil. Some of them are probably just incompetent. But the system is rigged, and these guys are the beneficiaries. So, yeah, I'm a little skeptical.

We need to audit the Fed. End the bailouts. And maybe, just maybe, hold a few of these clowns accountable when they inevitably crash the economy again. But hey, that's just crazy talk.

But don't worry, they'll tell you it's all for the best. It's for the economy. It's for jobs. It's for... whatever buzzword they're using this week to justify screwing you over.

So, buckle up, buttercup. 2026 is gonna be a wild ride. And by wild, I mean you're gonna get taken for everything you're worth.

But at least we'll have a 'woke' banking system while we're being robbed. That's progress, right?
