Because there’s extreme wealth inequality in the US and money is speech and influence. Wealth inequality is bad for democracy.

I personally don't see the big deal. $250k is plenty for anybody to cover rent for a few months while they apply for jobs and get back on their feet. These guys are supposably such big captains of innovation, they could just work their way up from the mailroom somewhere. Only country where they could, imo

The only people I have sympathy for is the folks who have money tied up in Etsy and PayPal, and some of the folks who won’t get a paycheck this week.

For about 30 seconds, I was thinking "hmm... why are only the $250K deposits insured, how the gently caress do businesses handle banking?" I immediately snapped out of it once I thought about what banks would actually do with that deposited money if they knew there would be an inevitable federal takeover and bailout of all the companies with those accounts.

And that kind of poo poo couldn't be adequately preventative taxed. So here, have some broken braining:

I just read Rocket Lab have $38m tied up with them, and I'm less than ok with this.

From what I understand they already did. The timeline I've been reading is the Richie Riches got notice things were fucky. Richie Riches yoink their cash. Everyone else notices things were fucky because it all started evaporating when the cash was yoinked, so they run on the bank to get their cash out. Some do with the leftovers, the rest get poo poo.

The big deal is that if you're a company who was using SVB as your bank, even if you're a little company with 30-40 people, you are now in jeopardy of not being able to cover payroll.

The equivalent European regulation requires 100k€ per account coverage so it's even funnier when banks go bust here.

But SVB might actually get a buyer and this all ends up relatively moot in a week, even if the techbros are shrieking for more bank runs on regional banks just to save their own bank.

The articles are saying that on top of SVB forcing people to bank with them in exchange for below-market lending rates investors were stipulating the same for the businesses they put money into.

Which in retrospect seems super suspicious but hey, it’s free income until it isn’t.
