The vote last night was like witnessing the de-certification of a union or a partisan meeting to purge the impure. Credit unions, once a bastion of social democratic values, are under assault by the same law firms and corporate CEO class that brought you union de-certification and strike breaking tactics. I'll be moving my money elsewhere. I give CCU 18 months until they're a bank. Indeed, last night’s proceedings were akin to a meeting of the Soviet People’s Chamber of Deputies.

Now CCU is effectively owned and operated by CCU management. The members are just pawns to be manipulated at will. Just like the influence of money has corrupted our political system, the same misuse of CCU funds has just thwarted any reasonable belief that CCU is a democratic institution. People that really cared tried to make a difference here. But in the end, all that mattered was money and misinformation.
