From the last information I read the shareholders will be wiped out and the deposits will be covered by the FDIC through a mandatory collection from other banks.

At the moment no public funds should be going to save them.

Edit: learning more about it, other banks (not svb) are going to be allowed to use their low interest bonds as collateral for government loans. So, essentially the government is going to pay out early on old Treasuries with low rates to issue new bonds with higher rates? Because banks can’t sell their low rate Treasuries without a steep discount in this high rate environment and are illiquid?

Eh, that does seem like a bailout (of the in jeopardy but not yet failed banks)

The trans panic situation makes me very sad and worried. I'm not trans, I don't have any close friends who are trans, but, goddamnit, just let these people live their lives in the way that seems best to them. Everything I've heard about transitioning and living as a trans person is... not great, beyond alleviating the gender dysphoria they experience, so I assume if someone decides they want to transition they must have a pretty rock-solid reason why, and it ain't anyone's place to judge that.

And, I mean, I fully believe trans identity is real and valid, but even if you don't, who gives a gently caress??? Just let them do whatever! Don't want a transition? Then don't get one. Don't obsess about the sexual physiology of strangers, and get on with your life, and think that they're a bunch of weird deluded perverts for all I care! They aren't, but if you need to think they are to get through the day and have sad, disappointing coitus with your bored spouse, then think that and just stay the gently caress out of their business.

The obvious answer is that it makes older white dudes feel somehow icky because it forces them to confront some ideas about gender and sexuality that they'd rather not. So we have the Sean Hannitys of the world expounding on teevee about how this is morally wrong, or what have you. It's all awful and bad, as you say, but there is and I'm afraid always will be a segment of the population who will be obsessed with the lives of others.

It’s an extension of the same weaponization of sexuality that has been going on for millennia. Humans are compelled to reproduce, and if you can control that you can convert the authority into an unlimited number of other areas of control over peoples behaviour. Combine that with humans lack of fatigue related to ‘othering’ a group as permission to hate ‘them’ and here we are. We don’t really acknowledge this too much and absolutely don’t study it enough to have any chance of managing it. We will probably be stuck in this dynamic until we do.

Probably the same thought process you see from some extreme fundies asking non-religious people 'what stops you from murdering people if there aren't commands from God forbidding it?' These people are incapable of seeing human relations in any other way than through their twisted desires and are extremely confused when confronted with 'what the gently caress is wrong with you?' question after their totally hypothetical scenario.

Quoting this because it's a helpful step-stone, but I agree with everything EoRaptor said too; we all like to think we're moral human beings, right? I am an atheist myself, but that's not really here or there, I just try to behave in a way that doesn't injure anyone, call anyone names, anything like that. We're all people, and we all have the same rights (as it were) to express ourselves, and to be ourselves, and that is great.

The need to belittle others, to lord over them, their reproductive rights or their gender expression, is a form of violence that should not be tolerated. Never mind the paradox of intolerance or whatever, those kinds of thoughts should not exist in polite society. Or impolite, for that matter. Just let people be who they are, and that should be the end of that.

Every doctor and nurse ever asks (me) if I smoke and I ask them: "if I smoked do you think I'd be alive?" and they look at me with my orbiting moons and admit: "yeah fair point, congrats on your Oscar".

e: I don't mean it's wrong for a healthcare professional to ask if I smoke or not. I don't know what my point was anyway.

She should be thrilled. If these dream homes are being devalued, that means that they're more affordable to people seeking a dream home, property taxes will be lower, and there's no downside because if you're already living in your dream home you don't need to sell it.
