We’re looking to buy a place in #Ireland (because renting here is nigh on impossible these days) so I approached a mortgage broker and they just got back to me with this gem:
“Bank of Ireland will not consider your mortgage application because you run a not-for-profit.”
How bloody lovely.
Congratulations on creating a system that rewards the worst of the worst and fucks over those striving to work for the common good. I, for one, won’t be shedding a tear should it burn to the ground.
@aral wtf, this is f...... nuts. Hopefully there are better Banks... 
@globcoco Thanks, Coralie. I guess we’ll see. Haven’t really gotten a break yet but one can hope :)
@aral hi Aral 
Are there Banks like triodos who are "supposed" to be less... Bank and more helpful? (I think I am living in lalaland but one can hope 
)
@globcoco I’ll have a look around. A few folks have suggested building societies.
@aral yes... I think that's what most capitalists do... they own nothing in their name. The system is made up to favour this way.
But maybe that's the best way to do it... within the frame of today.
