    “We’ve overleveraged ourselves giving out loans that we can’t fully back, so here’s a contribution fee to ensure that we don’t collapse.”

      No worries bro. If things get rough for ya the government will just bail you out on behalf of taxpayers. You are all good. Thanks for the fee chap.

      Eh I think it’s more of a “fuck you, just because we can.”
