Fascinating to read from all the Silicon Valley libertarians how society should step in immediately to fix the private business they banked with.

@thomasfuchs I hope that DC is tired of bailouts for banks.
If my rep Ro Khanna comes out in favor of bailing SVB out, I'm gonna scream.

@thomasfuchs Apparently in 2008 the Kochs were literally at some conference denouncing Obamacare when the crash happened and they immediately started calling every Obama staffer they knew to save their assets :/

If you feel the urge to reply that I'm all wrong about SVB, I'd like to point out that I'm not actually talking about SVB with a single word in my OP.

I'm also all for helping people affected by the bank collapse, especially those who don't have millions stashed elsewhere. That's why we have a society and a government.
The only thing I'm doing in my OP is pointing out the bigotry and hypocrisy of some people.

@thomasfuchs yeah shouldnt Peter Thiel be using his own money to help people instead? Fuck those fake libertarians. Those people are always full of shit the second they get in trouble.
