Yeah I’ve been to the house before and the way the surrounding neighborhood is structured makes it a pain in the ass to visit, can’t imagine living there. You’re better off just going to the film museum.

I think that's certainly the case for more than a few of them. One of the better EV charger networks in the UK is run by BP of all people. That's a sign to me that they're at least looking for what comes next, even if they're dragging their feet.

Sure. Well kinda. Obviously things are complicated. Positive in that it ultimately means petro companies have given up on overtly fighting change and are now preparing to weather it.
It's more that the other poster seem to be under the impression that this just means more money for other banks and Danske Bank is doing this because they specifically aren't making much on it. This means there's 'less' money for oil going around period. Especially compared to a decade ago where you barely had to convince a bank you could actually break ground to get financing.

It’s probably free but you probably only get care to get you down off the immediate emergency. Once you have calmed down it’s back to paying for care and waiting 3 months for an appointment where they ignore you and do nothing.

I worked in restaurants in Astoria and it was awful. Until the summer there is barely enough work to go around. As soon as tourist season hits you can't find enough workers.
I have PTSD from Goonies weekends.

The VA is why a lot of veterans kill themselves.

That in itself is pretty great?

There’s a podcast who recently did a Goonies movie review while in the house. They also did Kindergarten Cop review in the house. The Kindergarten Cop school can been seen from the house. Check them out “Confused Breakfast Podcast”

One example of how they are:
Putins brother used them to launder billions, they claimed they didn't know he was related to Putin despite his brothers' last name ALSO BEING PUTIN!
So they had a guy with the last name Putin who wanted to send billions through the bank, and they didn't think it sounded the least bit suspicious that a Russian man with the last name "Putin" had access to so much money, so they didn't do any form of background check to see where this money was actually coming from or who he was.
Oh yeah, during this entire time (a solid 8-10 year period), whistleblowers repeatedly said that this was extremely suspicious and alerted their bosses about it, but were told it was fine and to shut up.

Every bank has compliance failures. It's part of the business. Danske aren't considered exceptional in this regard.

I began my process about 2 months ago. Stuff might have changed. If nothing else, tell him just go to the VA website and “start a claim” and put tinnitus. I promise you he has it. We all got it. It’s an automatic 10%

I think, regardless of your thoughts on the bank, this is an indication that Fossil Fuels are not a good investment for the future and banks and businesses are beginning to see that, which is uplifting to me
