But this is essentially an 80/20 flip on literacy rates over a little more than a century. Never forget that this is something we as a species did, something we can actually do. It's amazing. And it's more amazing when you consider that over that time the population didn't remain steady, by multiplied by around eight. Eight times as many people to teach to read, billions, and we mostly it.

Take your paid time off if you get it--all of it

Take your sick days

Take your holidays in full

Take your weekends and your evenings or whatever time off you get

Life is short, and the workplace will never love you back

1. Bankers lobby for deregulation.

2. Politicians deregulate bank.

3. Bank collapses due to lack of regulation.

Wall Street Journal: This is clearly the fault of non-white males.

WSJ screaming the quiet part loud & going full blown white supremacy. Absurd.

Think elections don't matter? The federal government didn't reward the sleaziest people in the Silicon Valley Bank debacle, at least not yet.
I feel awful for anyone who is losing money to the SVB collapse, but I don't think anyone who worked with them will feel a moment's sadness that that bank is gone.
Let's stop using a faceless name, SVB, and instead say the name of the person most responsible: Greg Becker.
