I should really write about banking some time, as I have weird hobbies which are not as well-known among tech people. Here's a weird hobby bit of information: why the US doesn't have "basic bank accounts" like many countries, which are fee-free accounts meant to increase access.

Note that the right to a bank account in the EU doesn't force banks to make it free, and usually it isn't, even at banks that are completely free otherwise. That's why some EU countries are mandating one bank (typically the postal bank) to offer basic service for reasonable fees

While not free, my understanding is that most EU bank accounts are very affordable ($1 per month) compared to the US ($12 per month)
