I would like to know why SVB depositors should be made whole. These aren't retirees whose savings got wiped out. These are literally just a bunch of Silicon Valley VC fucksticks who have been happy to violate our privacy, sell our data, and manipulate our dopamine response systems to make us hate each other. FUUUUCK THEM

As much as I may agree with the sentiment, the banking rules, woeful as they may be, should at least be enforced uniformly.

They get their FDIC 250k and that is it.

That part, I get. I’m unclear as to whether, traditionally, those with more are treaters as creditors. Do you know?

I don't know. I am just seeing some astro-turfed “rescue the SVB fuckstick depositors“ campaigning, and whatever is outside the "fair treatment" scenario, I am against. Bailing them out is beyond the pale.

No argument there. At. All.

That’s $250,000 per depositor
