The depositors should have used the cash sweep programs that spreads deposits under the $250k limit amongst all FDIC-insured banks like the SaaS company I worked at a decade ago use - bing bong, so simple!

I used to live where all our techies are, so I get it. A lot of them are really contemptable, but a good chunk don't deserve what could be coming to them.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC



True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technical and financial corps at the very heart of America's global empire – the "mighty engine of profit" to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved – and they did so both willingly and knowingly. Recourse to "ignorance" – a derivative, after all, of the word "ignore" – counts as less than an excuse among this relatively well-educated elite. To the extent that any of them were unaware of the costs and consequences to others of what they were involved in – and in many cases excelling at – it was because of their absolute refusal to see. More likely, it was because they were too busy braying, incessantly and self-importantly, into their monitors, arranging power lunches and pushing code, each of which translated, conveniently out of sight, mind and smelling distance, into the starved and rotting flesh of infants. If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Bachmans inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of Silicon Valley, I'd really be interested in hearing about it.

agreed, but I'm going to be pretty sympathetic to a coder making like 100k in SF. That is still a ton of money, but I'd rather not just wish everyone be in poverty to prove some weird point.

I mean I don't want the SF coder to be homeless but I am still going to quote tweet "lmao" his libertarian rear end tweet
