God I am just sat here laughing my rear end off

As so many have already pointed out, this is just going to incentivize bank runs because everyone's going to get bailed out and the folks who bail out early and sell stock early (like what happened when SVB got goosed a few years ago) are going to make utterly ruinous amounts of money. Every bank will be squeezed, therefore every bank is protected, therefore every bank is now a literal mint.

Good job to the Biden administration, I suppose, for choosing the path of total financial chaos and proving that the government could just end poverty at will.

You hosed up! Taking out a PPP loan was one of the best decisions I ever made. ALWAYS pretend to to be in the capitalist class. I'm still unemployed now, but I'm unemployed with significantly greater savings.

:yeah:

reality is businesses and people are shook. even if biden bailsout everything in SVB and promises them each a million bucks ontop of it for being so nice customers, people are going to start taking big lumps out almost everywhere. no one wants to be in a position that depositors w SVB are in even if they'll "be made whole"

So

A. FDIC is unlimited insuring everyone regardless of deposit level, we are literally printing infinite money

B. This infinite insurance gets rolled back at some point, people go "Oh gently caress the government is in serious trouble" and we get a mass panic

Printing infinite money is the solution until taking a loaded wheelbarrow of bundled cash to the local store still isn't enough to buy a dozen eggs due to inflation.

if people kept buying up Gamestop stocks to create a "short squeeze" against people who were shorting the stock

couldn't you, like, incite people to withdraw their money from banks to deliberately trigger bank runs to "squeeze" the Feds in a similar manner

technically yes but the amount of money mere mortal working peons have compared to businesses and capitalists is like a spitball in an ocean

you would need to have a lot of rich people behind it

what would definitely trigger flight would be the fed just going lol and doing nothing, since it guarantees that anything above $250k is not safe, so you go to a bank where the world economy is hosed if it fails. I dunno why paying back depositors has the same effect if they do it by a "just this once, you silly goose" mechanism
