Rich people suffer no consequences and their money is safe as milk because of the Fed's money printer. Why wouldn't number go up?

technically everyones money is safe with them because they are now a nationalized bank

it will cease being safe the moment someone buys them

bro aren't you like an ER doctor? You guys don't get PTO?

No, it was really fun during covid too, let me tell you. ER contracts are pretty poo poo, it’s a holdover from when the docs were a private group but all that was bought out by private equity corps years ago and they just got away with paying an hourly wage without pto or sick time and it’s the industry standard so good luck finding a better deal. So it’s basically work a mix of days nights weekends and holidays without COL raises until you quit or die.

What’s that you say? I have no idea why ER doc burnout is so high.

Paradoxish posted:

There was never any serious risk that SVB depositors wouldn't get back most of their money, or even all of it given enough time. A ton of this panic is entirely because the government rushed out to guarantee deposits with infinite money, making an already bad situation seem far, far worse. Now they need to walk this poo poo back because "the federal reserve has infinite money and all deposits are guaranteed" is a batshit insane statement.

Perhaps I am truly loving stupid, but this combined with the lessons learned from Lebanon's failing state status, I am now giving the older and more established forms of crypto some sober second thought.

That's literally the law though? The FDIC's ability to guarantee anything past $250k requires a determination (i.e. a majority vote by The Fed) that a failure of the bank would constitute a systemic risk. You can think of it as another version of Too Big to Fail. What's changed is that the government policy now says "it's actually totally OK for the shareholders to lose everything", which wasn't the case in 2008 when they too were made whole.

that's all true, but recent events and fdic/fed policy changes have made it clear there's no point ever keeping more than $250k at a regional / "non-systemic" bank, explicitly encouraging oligopoly among the Big Banks, and bank runs against smaller players

You're definitely gonna win, but good luck collecting on the judgement. It's gonna be a long and painful process but as long as you don't need the money asap, just enjoy the process of slowly putting the screws on the crazy landlord. If you need the money asap... well, it's most likely not gonna happen so get ready for a long battle to collect.

Also to help folks feel even better about First Republic failing it's a rich people bank here in LA, they target Beverly Hills and the south bay. So the wealthy are squirming

One First Republic depositor, Farmgirl Flowers of Oakland, Calif., explained in an email to customers why it had chosen to bank with them in the first place.

“At the time I set the account up, a woman of color was running the bank. And, in an industry where representation is so lacking, I wanted to make the choice to bank with an organization that was changing what leadership looked like,” the founder, Christina Stembel, wrote.
