Well, as you and I know, the taxpayers will at some point be stuck with paying for both banks greed and corruption, which is actually the brunt of the problem. I can assure everyone the the CEOs didn't lose a dime, because they go their money and ran in January and February before things tanked. Thanks for sharing.

Show me the money! I do think you are right about the money with this commentary. The billionaires don't pay for their losses. The little guys do. The government of the people ain't always for the people. Good job. Terry.

Hello Brett,
This is kind of like a re-run of an old movie isn't it? I saw some commercials from SVB, showing the executives touting how diverse they were, hiring gays, and minorities and other people so they can check off the list from the woke agenda. Like so much else in both business and government today, people aren't hired because of their ability, but because they fill a particular spot in the check list. It's been pointed out that the bank, like many other businesses, gave big bucks to the present party in power. It happens in both parties, so they are both guilty. How can the government hold anyone accountable when they are so busy holding out their hands in exchange for a favorable vote? We need to have an overhaul of our entire government, complete with term limits, but of course, that won't happen because they won't vote on it. It's time for a constitutional convention. Thanks for sharing this.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Appreciate your insightful comments and the review. Seems the Little Man always ends up paying for things like this, doesn't it?
Comment from GWHARGIS
I applaud your picture choice. I have a co worker who has been following the banking fiasco. He has dumbed it down for me but says it's like domino's. There will be more. Six months from now the banking industry will be on Bailout . I worked for a savings and loan when the feds came in and closed us down. Not a fun time. The bank employees were all but strip searched during that time. I got out of banking as soon as they started reorganization. Your op-ed was spot on. Gretchen

Thank you for telling it like it is. I'm sure you got some negative reviews because of it. It's basically the common person who will suffer for things like this. During Covid when the government helps 'businesses' out the small mom and pop businesses got nothing.

Comment from BethShelby
The whole banking system is pretty scary to me, because of what I know happened in 1928 duing the Great Depression. I might be wrong, but from where I sit, I tend to think whether you want to see a major bank bailed out, depends on whether you owe the bank, or the bank owes you. In my case everything I have is tied up in bank. They owe me, and I don't owe them anything. I don't borrow money. When two big banks fail, people start to panic. They start think this is the beginning of a depression, we've got to take our money out before it is too late. My kids and everyone I know is telling money, you'd better get you money out the bank before they all fail. If people do that all the banks will fail. When people with money in the banks hear there is bailout they relax, and nothing major happens except their loans may cost a little more. A depression is averted. A real depression like 1928 wouldn't affect just those with money. We would all go down the tube. Like I said, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I think it is best we shore up those banks.

Comment from Sankey
This was interesting, coming as it does just after we have heard the news about all this, here in Australia. They say our banks are not affected...I wonder? Loved the picture. One word change possibly unless I misunderstood? Half of that has gone to [holding](helping??) companies of Silicon Valley Bank

Comment from Ulla
Well, all I can say, Brett is that I don't only see a rat but I also smell a rat. They're all lining their own pockets, and who pay for it,? The customers do..they use our money to invest and pay for their risky financial transactions while happily charging us the customers for the privilege. Actually I'm beginning to understand why so many keep their money under the madras. You just got me going here. I'm sorry. Well written. Ulla:)))
