When you call Wells Fargo, they play the instrumental intro to Material Girl

They probably think it's funny, but it's actually a pretty good indictment of their greed.

It's hilarious how many famous, greedy, capitalism condemning ballads get co-opted by greedy capitalists as their jams. Money from Pink Floyd especially.

It's almost impossible to insult a capitalist for their greed, they just get new cruel ideas from it. Must be nice to live without the capacity for shame.

I'm guessing a 50-some year old reliving their glory days, fully ignorant of the irony or just celebrating their lives asleep to the fact they are working for a shitty industry. But, if I'm honest with myself, I'm always thinking of the worst outcome. If it is an actual self-aware joust at the system from the inside, then that is pretty funny.

Could they not afford The Wells Fargo Wagon?
