The sudden freefall is likely not a surprise to the #SVB board. In the past 15 months, as top insiders cashed options and sold shares, SVB operated without a full-time chief risk officer and the number of board risk committee meetings more than doubled.

People are being "reactionary" for sure, but they are "reacting" to how political positions favor their social status.
Nothing more, nothing less.

It's hard to argue against the parallel with Prohibition, where we went from shootouts in the street to hipster brewpubs in every town
No disagreement, but if I were influencing the right, this is not a hill I would die on.

I get it. Cut spending instead of feeding the beast.
But at this point, I'm OK with "taxing the rich" to pay for all the nonsense, because they all vote for this! They vote for killing the golden goose to pad their 401k

Scary stuff, because you can't just flip a switch and turn on a dairy farm once you realize you went too far because there is no milk in the stores. Same for everything else. This is literally the stuff of civilization and we're shutting it down 💀

I'm interested in a government that fosters high trust societies. I'm not sure that anything else matters other than financial solvency
