We kind of already are.... isn't there a dramatic increase in "deaths of despair" lately?

Your asset holdings and account balances would have to be pretty out of the ordinary to not be covered by the protection given by FDIC and SIPC. Plus, securities you bought through a Schwab account are your assets and they would be treated separately from Schwab's own assets (and probably just moved somewhere else somehow).

I know I sound clueless here, but I don't know why Schwab is getting a version of the FRC/SVB treatment as Schwab is run quite differently and has a much different kind of depositor base.

(Please, God, don't make me a Jim Cramer with respect to this.)

unless it turns out schwab was just going hog wild with people's assets like a shady crypto exchange

which would both be really bad and really funny

Yeah. Also, you can't labor if you don't exist, and with there not being a future, more people are deciding not to (or are financially unable to) have kids.

it got closed iirc but there were some real choice discussions about how to properly get out of negligence claims, how to explain jacking up prices and blaming it on increased taxes etc

fwiw very few people from CSPAM "invaded" that thread, the people showing up to poo poo on the cockroaches were just general forums posters who organically discovered the bedbug parasite thread, but regardless CSPAM still got blamed for the landlord thread being killed.
