What the heck was SVB really doing...

This is going to get frickin’ ugly. We’re just starting to see the ripple effects. SVB isn’t going to be the only bank to fail. Under no circumstances should taxpayers pay for a bailout. These filthy woke inside trading elites made stupid ass decisions and they need to pay for them.

has Credit Suisse released it’s report yet? I know the SEC called them and told them to ‘wait.’

As this starts to unravel over the next 24-48 hours, SVB is suddenly going to be a household swear word.

Agree.

Millennials mess up everything they touch.

Also the Boomers who precede them

1929 will seem like a church picnic.

Will the pendulum ever swing back to sanity and moderation?

No. Credit Suisse needs more time to cook the books.

If Elon bought this SVB, libs would have an even bigger hissy fit than they did when he bought Twitter.

He’d end all the liberal woke crap that was going on when the bank folded.

But at least he wouldn’t have to pay all the crooks who took bonuses first. Maybe he could help with evidence that would put them in prison?
