    Bottom line , the reason why this bank failed based on what I’ve read and heard , is the fact that regulations were removed to keep this from happening.

    • @aaronb1195
      @aaronb1195 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ask about which specific regulations would have prevented this bank from failing. I haven't been able to identify any. SVB was under category IV standards following the 2018 change. Those standards require enhanced risk management practices (compared with banks under $100 billion in assets), which include liquidity stress testing and interest rate risk forecasting. It seems clear to me, a risk management professional at a much smaller bank, that SVB failed to follow even basic risk management practices. Like, avoiding mismatched maturities on the liability and asset side of the balance sheet is literally Banking 101, and SVB couldn't manage to do even that. And then their emergency liquidity planning was terrible, too. None of that kind of neglect is allowed *under the current regulations.* Why didn't the Fed step in and put a stop to this months ago? My employer's primary regulator would love (love!) to catch those kinds of errors here. Why was SVB getting a pass?
      All this to say that, if SVB got a pass to skirt regulations, who's to say they wouldn't have done so under the stronger regs?

      That may have contributed to it, but it's not clear that was the primary cause. In the end high inflation reduced the value of long-term government bonds in which SVB had parked the lion's share of their assets, leaving them with very limited capital reserves and insufficient liquidity to sustain a run on deposits, which further eroded depositors' confidence which spiralled into a classic, banal bank run

      Woke: a post-modernist neo-marxist ideology that focuses on immutable characteristics like race and gender as the points of conflict between oppressors and oppressed. It's an evolution of marxist theory which focused on class struggle. This "wokeness" is the idea that a hierarchy of oppressed people exist based on immutable characteristics, and also implies moral superiority to those oppressed classes. It also implies moral absence of the oppressor classes. This ideology regresses from ideas of character being a means of personal judgement. This ideology regresses from the idea that anyone can overcome societal inequality through hard work and dignity. This ideology turns a democratic republic into a state of nature that pits everyone against everyone else who is biologically different from them, and undermines the very founding principles that allowed America to become the bastion of freedom that so many who hate this country take for granted.

    These people act as if the new standards suddenly magically transform the appliances and fixtures they already have into somehow... worse versions of what they already have? Like, trying to reduce harmful emissions standards on new stoves somehow makes your current stove... work worse somehow? Water efficiency standards making 'low flow' toilets that work worse.... affect the one you already have how? I don't understand these people. New standards does not mean it is an 'attack' on what you have. Only Republicans think that 'new standards' mean 'YOU MUST REPLACE IT NOW' at the whim of the government. If you get a low flow toilet and don't like how it performs, GET A DIFFERENT ONE. If you don't like your gas stove's performance, GET A DIFFERENT ONE. It's not this hard. If nobody had told them that these standards were going to come online, none of these people would ever actually notice. So when you take that away, all you have is performative outrage designed to be nothing more than an attack on liberals with zero fact, zero justification and zero substance. These people need to take that energy and start putting it towards ACTUAL problems.

    Daily Reminder : “That’s the last four years. We are all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.” - Tucker Carlson Fox News

      Those words from Tucker - "pretending we've got a lot to show for it" - remind me of something that every American needs to try to wrap their head around:
      The four Trump fiscal years had a deficit of about $4 trillion, _not including COVID-19 related spending,_ ie. if the pandemic had not happened. Inflation adjusted, that's about the same amount the US spent fighting World War 2.
      When I say fighting WW2 I mean the whole shebang: building factories, building infrastructure, building an aircraft carrier _per week_ at one point, paying all the soldiers, all the guns, all the bullets, all the bombs, all the fuel, all the fighters, bombers, jeeps, trucks, tanks, _all the aid given to allies,_ all the scientific research, and on and on and on. The scale of America's WW2 industrial output is mind-boggling and it completely transformed the country.
      What did America get for the $4 trillion in deficit spending under Trump? What does, to use Tucker's words, America have to show for it?

That said, you do not need to fill a double bowl sink with one soapy and the other clean, to wash your dishes efficiently. A gas stove saves $5 on range, and $10 on oven, given you actually cook home made food. Not to mention the food cooks and tastes more evenly. Just sayin’.
