The Northern Atlantic Ocean is heating up so rapidly that it is literally, nearly off the charts. Pay heed. This is well beyond record-breaking.

The regulators were there until SVB lobbied Congress to remove the guardrails that prevent this kind of crisis in the first place. Warnings were everywhere. SVB, like many gamblers before them, knew what they were doing. Let the FDIC open the books & see what it’s working with.

2. Where were regulators ? They are supposed to watch and warn. 3. Can't wait to see how many people yanked their money, told others to, and shorted the stock. 4. Will the number of emps that aren't paid this week lead to a multiple of that number not being paid in 2 weeks ?

So the world’s richest people are screaming for taxpayers to bail them out because they crushed their own favorite bank, which was so badly run that it couldn’t get in front of the most clearly telegraphed interest-rate move ever. The only possible response is: fuck that shit.

This should really mark the end of the “benevolent billionaire” myth. Not only did Musk pay $44 billion for Twitter when he could’ve ended starvation globally with that money, he also has already literally backed out of a $6 billion promise to the UN to help solve world hunger.

This is wildly untrue. Not even close. (It’s heart disease, if you’re interested. Followed by cancer. Followed by COVID.)

Yes, of course, declaring a climate emergency is no substitute for action. My point is that Biden has chosen to not even take this symbolic step - that's how little his administration prioritizes climate action. It's not just Manchin blocking things.

BREAKING: we, staffers of the US Congress, are peacefully sitting in on Senator Schumer’s office to demand Dems pass climate justice policy this year. We are putting our bodies on the line because we have no other choice. Follow along for updates from inside!


Yikes
