3. BS - that is not progressive - its regressive
The FDIC has never failed to back insured deposits since FDR signed the law.

10. Credit unions are progressive
They are cooperatives owned by the depositors.

11. Except if your house burns, or the coffee can rusts...

Ye olde cache the cash has drawbacks too.
