Silicon Valley Bank

Signature Bank

First Republic Bank

Together, these three failed banks held more assets than the 25 banks that collapsed during the 2008 financial crash.

How can we prevent this financial meltdown from getting worse? Make banking boring again.

@rbreich
You're usually spot-on. But what do you mean, "**25** banks that collapsed"? You're undercounting the failed banks by nearly TWENTY TIMES???

"In all, 489 FDIC-insured banks failed during the crisis years 2008 through 2013."
