anyways you dont gotta hand it to them but i will definitely laugh at the vcs spending the last several years just outright supporting republican party ideals, the bank itself successfully lobbying the trump admin to lower liquidity stress requirements, and then this happens and the olive branch the Trumps extend is "your bank failed because it's TOO GAY buh bye sweetheart"

I mean I think you're overthinking it kind of? It's as simple as "bad thing happened? oh, okay it's because of [insert current bogeyman/talking point]"

Trump was also constantly accusing silicon valley as being too liberal during his presidency as a way to pressure tech companies into letting him say whatever he wanted

Even people sucking up to him would be unlikely to not expect this to happen I think

otoh have you considered VC people are extremely entitled assholes that like to scream about lazy moochers and bootstraps, and are now asking for a complete bailout, which is different because [insert excuse about "job creation" here]

bank runs auto-catalyze whether they are started in bad faith or not. once they get started, you can either participate or risk your uninsured deposits. you cannot ignore it even if it starts in bad faith.

in the worst parts of 2008, they were also sweating about if the fdic would come through on everything.

for most people it probably doesn't, the chart bdid posted earlier shows most banks have ~40+% of deposits totaling less than $250k, which the fdic has to be able to cover

i honestly can't feel bad for the people with more than that. it's not hard to make multiple accounts, even if it's a pain in the rear end to manage. but they can also afford to pay someone to do that for them

all I’m hearing, again for the millionth time, is that our financial system is built on smoke and mirrors and we’re yet again trying to keep the show going so it doesn’t fall over and ruin the modern world. fuckers rigged the system so without them we lose and with them we lose.

ok but that's the history of every financial system since the invention of currency

ps: fdic insurance at banks is 250k per name not per account. apparently credit unions are per account? not 100% sure of the difference but for some places its per name.

spontaneously seems real unlikely to spread, *but* the core problem svb had, stacks of low-yield treasuries which are hard to sell in the middle of interest rates spiking, a lot of other banks no doubt also have.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, the two-time MVP who last year led the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA title since 1971, opened bank accounts with 50 different banks — each one of them holding $250,000, his boss, team owner Marc Lasry, told Bloomberg News.
