Your periodic reminder that bailing out Silicon Valley Bank cost more than the entire US food stamp program, and happened overnight with zero debate.

Aren't you worried, as a SpaceX engineer, that you'll get fired for being on this site,?

That's cool. Your boss is why I'm here, so say thanks for me next time you see him.

Why don't you think the bank received public money to repay its debts?

@clsytim @tprophet

And yet you continue to tag me.

I feel we should acknowledge biases.

I am biased against people being "that guy" and insisting that a bail out isn't a bail out.

I was just going to go with blocking Tim as being an unserious thinker unworthy of discussion, but I feel it worth drawing attention to the attempted derailing tactics of saying "that's not a spade!" When talking about a handled device for moving earth.

But sure, "ad hominem".
