31. Years ago there were many local banks in every town. They may have been connected in some way

but not like today. Most were locally owned. If I am not mistaken there is today something like 5 huge banks that are connected to most of the main street banks. Back then our money was in a local bank that mostly borrowed to local needs and did not use our money in an international casino that had to be bailed out every now and then. Also back then there was no such thing as too big to fail. If one bank failed it did not take the entire international banking system with it.
