once again I refer everyone to the “it’s a wonderful life” clip

except instead of using the money for their honeymoon in real life they’d give everyone the 60 days to request the full withdrawal and then never return from their honeymoon

also having a company called SBF and one called SVB collapse in the same year is too confusing, do better next year.

im just excited to see what completely insane and hosed up takeaways silicon valley and VCs emerge with once the smoke clears. surely a blanket of somber introspection will drape itself over the peninsula any day now.

gently caress rifts and gently caress its nazi writer. in the very first book he published rules for playing soldiers for the evil nazi skull faction and in successive supplemental books wrote things such that the only reason the kinder settlements could exist was because they were stooges of aliens or because the evil nazi skull faction were the hard men making hard choices for the benefit of mankind. they 100% lost me when they started hand wringing about the humanity of their concentration camp guards. gently caress em.

a lot of the moneyed interests are on board with the rate hikes because they like the idea of "cooling off the economy" (i.e. causing a recession to force wages back down). i think this is a complete accident that nobody planned on and they're scrambling to figure out how to stop it from taking down the rest of the financial system too. but i also think it's way too early to try to draw these kinds of conclusions.

boa spokesperson last june saying the comin interest rate hikes are good because theyll cool off the economy and hurt labor

yeah clearly some moneyed interests would be in support of the rate hike because otherwise the fed wouldn't be doing it

ii repeat: if i deposit money in an uninsured account in FartBank, I do not get money back. If I deposit money above the insured value in an account in FartBank, I do not get money back above the insured value. They are getting preferential treatment that I would not get. They are absolutely getting it "for nothing". this new insolvency scheme was brought out now and specifically once it looked like connected vc assholes would take a beating. do you have an answer to the following question:

why was FDIC insurance capped at 250k do you think?

I don't think it's unreasonable that the feds are covering for this. sure the consumer fdic limit is 250k, which I think is mainly for consumer confidence and to encourage people to use anything over that level to buy things or invest in something with more velocity than a savings account.

no individual is going to be destitute if they get wiped out to 250k while waiting for a bank's liquidation to go through, but 250k is pithy when a company has employees and vendors to pay, especially if they don't have a lot of assets or even a released product yet

investors and executives can get hosed though. it's their job to know what interest squeezes or whatever they're called are
