    REVEALED: Only ONE member of failed SVB's board had a career in investment banking - and the rest were Obama, Clinton mega-donors who 'grieved' when Trump won including one who went to Shinto shrine 'to pray'
    Tom King, 63, was the only member of the Silicon Valley Bank board who had experience in investment banking
    The others were major Obama and Clinton mega-donors, including one who cried when Trump won in 2016
    The board is now being investigated for its failure to act ahead of the bank's collapse, as some argue it was too focused on being woke

    says it all. this is the oversight on loading up on 10 year notes at historic low rates.


    what's not being said is that it is not the ordinary joes who were "bailed out." it was the Silicon Valley tops who had made a fortune and put a lot of it into the bank. they are big time Dem contributors and that is why this bank got its bailout, b/c if you think a regional out of Oklahoma would have, you are wrong.

    but there's little if any difference b/n this and the last huge Covid bailout Pelosi (from SF) did which included yes, a bailout of the SF School district, which had somehow gotten into huge debt (how's that even possible?). so the Nation, you and I, subsidized the school system employees' pensions from SF whereas the rest of the country has to make due if they even have underfunded pensions at all, lol. All under the guise of Covid. the last inflation busting 1.7trillion bill bailed out some pension in either Chicago or Detroit, imagine that. it's all so perverse.

    we are a terminally ill nation in its death throes while all the little piggies try to get their last suckle of their dying sow.

    This is an opinion piece masquerading as a fact. Can i say as a absolutle fact that a bank specializing in Oil and Gas out if Texas would have got the same treatment? No. I do think they would have though.

    According to a report by the Times of Israel, the country’s two largest banks were able to transfer $1 billion out of Silicon Valley Bank to accounts in Israel before it was seized by the feds.

    This series of failures and the unusual response is a first step toward National conversation and a CBDC catalyst
    Because then the Fed Reserve banks would have that would

    1) take away a major source of potential business from the FOR-PROFIT banks, and
    2) require the Fed banks to figure out where to invest the moneys from all those additional deposits, which would again result in more government agency-funded competition for for-profit banks. And that is that last thing both conservatives and corporate Democrats would want. Hell! Are you a socialist or something??!

    I cant answer them all….. Im sure on some level nobody benefits from leaving money in a savings account. Not you, not the bank, not society……

    The american way is if you gamble and lose then thats the way the cookie crumbles. Its the pursuit of happiness sort of thing. But if you want to sit it out with near zero risk at sub inflation rate return then these deposits need to be guaranteed by the US Banking system. Thats across the board if you a billionaire or a bum.

    Look here comrade, I’m a realist I’m the guy who would prefer to continue living my life in desperate anonymity. I’ll go further, I believe CBDC is the single biggest threat to privacy and freedom in our country.

    I’m willing to wager the first time you read about CBDC was in a post of mine a year or two ago.

    I’m just telling what is likely in the very near future. I follow who Binden and company have been staffing. I wrote about the Russian economist Binden nominated for Comptroller of Currency. I read all their white papers in my autistic fashion. It is very clear what appeals to the Fed and the current administration.

    My best bud Daly drives a Ford LTD Country Squire with fake wood panel siding. He has a deep belief that the status quo will last forever. Barbecues, bouffant hairstyles and unfiltered Chesterfields. I see the appeal. I accept the world is changing fast instead. I’m used to not getting my way too.

    The Fed has directly responded to the obvious competition with banks. Fed officials are emphatic that a federally issued digital dollar will not cut banks out of the banking system. The Fed even has offered suggestions as to how retail banks might compete with retail CBDC. It’s the elephant in the room.

    “The aggregate commercial banking sector balance sheet would likely decrease when retail CBDC is introduced”
    Retail banking will be different. Much different. You won’t have three regional bank branches at every 4 way intersection.

    Banks can look beyond deposits for capital - Fed funds or commercial paper, repurchase agreements and the Federal Home Loan Banks. There is always a way to raise a bankroll to gamble with.

    Look, China has industry and a form of capitalism too. They enjoy the NBA and barbecues. I just don’t want to live there.

    This is so not over.

    We haven’t seen short term rates suddenly fall like this since 9/11.

    Now you have Credit Suisse which made the market rock and roll down and up today. Watching stories about the insurance market activity as banks hedge their collateral risk on derivatives b/c almost certain Credit Suisse failure. I admit that has been talked about for 20 years but… Is Credit Suisse too bag to SAVE? See if anyone has an article out there. Idk

    When you have the banking system on the fritz like this “they” turn on the cash spigots. This just means inflation keeps cooking. Long term inflation was always my forecast.

    Now a lot of people bet that rates would fall by year end. Good for them. Nice hit. That wasn’t me.

    Rates may fall but banks are gonna get real tight on credit standards for borrowers for things like cars. That’s interesting.

    Generational trading opportunity but we’ve been saying that for 4 years.

    Yeah, things are not over.

    Inflation for a decade. People think I’m kidding. What happens is you end up with civil unrest. This was seen in the 70’s. There was far far greater civility back then so buckle up. Idk if this messes with my political forecast. Gotta think that thru.

    I need to look at Sonatine’s and CNBC’s girl, Cathy Wood, and her Tesla and Coinbase etc. what a shit show. Just crazy crazy times. Is she involved in this banking stuff? I have a hunch. She is a mush.

    Another ramble. If Fed “buys” the regional bank’s treasuries at par (even though they are under water) is that some perverted affect that treasuries are getting subsidized?

    Cant be 31T debt with ~3.5T in annual tax receipts and sit here and tell everyone that they don't want inflation. Inflation was always the plan. It was the way out.

    Me and my family truckster, my house that i own, my gold and silver and my BTC will try and find a way out of this.

    I never bought into the millennial way of not owning anything and renting house/car/etc.

    Do we really need over 10,000 different banks, credit unions and financial institutions?

    Let's go from over 10,000 to 10.

    The White House “acted swiftly and decisively to protect the American economy and strengthen public confidence in our banking system,” Newsom said in a statement. What Newsom didn’t mention is that it also protected his own companies if they held over $250,000 in deposits.

    CADE, Odette, and PlumpJack, three wineries owned by Newsom, are listed as clients of SVB on the bank’s website. Newsom also maintained personal accounts at SVB for years, according to a longtime former employee of Newsom’s who handled his finances, and who requested anonymity to avoid professional reprisal.

    Newsom also failed to mention his wife's professional ties to the bank. In 2021, SVB gave $100,000 to a charity founded by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the California Partners Project, at the request of Newsom. SVB Capital President, John China, sits on the Board of Directors of the charity.
