I hope pReddit had all of their money deposited in Silicon Valley Bank.

To add on, I would like to respectfully ask everyone to consider helping to push against the idea of a Silicon Valley bailout. If you have a Twitter account, definitely please jump in.

I don't think I have to tell anyone here how monumentally important it would be if Silicon Valley went bankrupt, but I'm going to rant anyway. The premiere propaganda channel of the modern world, suddenly cut off. Replaced by whatever freewheeling ramshackle patchwork of websites that springs up. The sudden mass unemployment, humiliation, and defeat of our useful idiot enemies. The almost utter public vindication of "get woke, go broke." I could go on.

If the recent HL debacle was Gamergate 2.0, as I have seen some suggesting, then we need an Operation Disrespectful Nod 2.0. Respectfully, I'd like to ask you to consider it. It's worth a try.

What will happen when they can no longer afford programming socks?

SVB was a venture capital firm masquerading as a commercial bank, and the FDIC and CBR will ensure they survive in some form because to allow them to actually fail would draw even more attention to the fact that neither regulatory body did the bare minimum of due diligence to ensure that "banks" were acting like "banks" rather than gambling addicts.

Fuck SVB, and fuck the FDIC and California's banking regulatory board for giving SVB a state charter as a commercial bank, but there's no chance they force it to go through bankruptcy instead of paying off another bank to buy them out.

I don't, but only because they'll go crying to the government for gibs about it, and they'll get it. They'll call it the Protecting Workers From Banks Act or some shit like that.

Well, that's why I was asking everyone to help push against a Silicon Valley bailout. With a divided congress, it's just possible that we could gridlock this into existence.

Wouldn't matter. Official Reddit policy is that bigotry is unacceptable unless it's aimed at white people, men, or straight people. They literally spelled it out in their rules.

If they need money, they'll just get a zero interest loan from Blackrock. The globalist culture destroyers protect their own.

"Only" up to $250,000 per account.

I see. Honestly, it's a silly idea to keep six figures in a bank. That's money that's depreciating with inflation.

You're completely right. I don't really have much sympathy for SV companies, though. I was thinking about individuals only.

I don't understand this Insured Deposits program, and ho it is different from the $250k insurance I had always understood, but they state the FDIC covers up to $5 million of a deposit. Probably for a 401k or some investment thing, rather than banking. But here the FDIC is insuring a whole lot more.
