      I read that part of the sentence about 20 times and I still haven’t got a clue what it’s supposed to mean.

        “Wood” = “would”

        These posts are allergic to punctuation. So there also should be a “.” or something after the “would”.

            I can’t decide if it’s “notes box” or “box bankers”.

            I do know that it’s best to not burn too much brain power trying to decipher lunatics.

        You have to get fluent in misspellings, wrong words, and lack of punctuation to read SovCit. It’s “…like I knew they would; if notes box bankers…”

          I mentally added in the spelling and punctuation when I read it, it still doesn’t make sense to me.

          What are they attempting to say here?

            My guess:

            note - a banknote or promissory note

            box - like ‘big box store,’ translating to a physical business location

              Yeah, “big-box-banknote bankers” or even “big-box-bank-ers” makes a little more sense and has the right kind of contempt for this rant. And to be fair, with the consolidation of small banks into major players these days, a tad relatable.
