Federal authorities are seriously considering protecting all uninsured deposits at Silicon Valley Bank

With your tax dollars

Here’s my proposal: fuck you, no.

@chrisU @flexghost If they keep this shit up it may not be "with my tax dollars" for long.

Millions of others would also probably go on a tax strike.

@miarosa758 @flexghost @chrisU I would probably have to write a novel for this, but, in a sentence, I'd put it down to the way people view our financial institutions and corporations, as a necessity for the economy no matter how terrible. (ok 2 sentences). I think it is an instilled fear in regards to how they marketed themselves.
