Don’t listen to Biden or Warren, and it’s frightening to think they’ll have to lead on the fix. Tomorrow will be a historic day in the future of the US and world.

Silicon Valley Bank execs think their gay employees are children who need coddling it sounds like.

Well obviously we can’t let the gay bank totally fail. It’s important for the children.

You selfish xenophobe. Have you not considered the trans and the chi’rens?

I wonder how much of their depositors money was spent flying this person around the world supporting non-financial causes. This bank needs to go broke and they sure as frick better not use my tax dollars to "bail" them out.

Seems like they were pretty diverse which is far more important than being good bankers

A bigger conversation should be the impact of Dodd-Frank being rolled back.

Swalwell was already on Twitter calling for a bailout so it has to be a POS woke bank if he’s backing it.

They need to be let fail in general, but extra not losing sleep over a get woke, go broke actually happening.

That said, I think nationally we probably need a solution to guarantee higher level deposits at least for corporations who’s payrolls exceed $250k.

It’s funny that you believe the government cares what we think. They’ll continue to push agendas and tell us to go vote to make our voices heard, but really it’s just the two sides of the same shitty coin. If our votes had any actual real power in this day and age, voting would have already been made illegal.

Not for me, I don’t see any traditional conservative banks failing with some of the necessary regulations reduced. Just the woke ones. Continue carrying Pocahontas’ water though.

They’re already blaming Trump and relaxing some of Dodd Frank regulations.

Totally fail = literally do nothing above FDIC insurance if even actually applicable here. I meant from the perspective of depositors. It’s still likely the fed orchestrates a shotgun marriage over the weekend with someone like JPM or maybe a tech company (Elon seems interested) to quasi save the bank and keep depositors whole.

I think they should let it burn for many reasons.

They are reopening on Monday to allow customers to withdraw their money up to the insured amount of 250k. I can only imagine the shitshow that will occur tomorrow.

Haha! That wouldn’t have changed this disaster.

Great liberal talking point for you though.

Poorly run banks fail. Especially if everyone was sensing it was a poorly run bank and just kept hanging around. But this is really what the FDIC was created for, is it not?
