The govt does not need to bail them out.

If you are so stupid to put your money in a place where their priority is not safety of your money but wokeness, then you deserve what you get.

This is the same govt, after the MCI, Enron disasters that required companies to have their pensions fully funded, while they raped social security, most states like Cali raped their state pensions, and unions raped theirs.

Here in Trnidad, decades ago, I signed off the end of each month on account transfers for payroll, it was a transaction of a withdrawal from one of our accounts to the various banks in the country for direct deposit of payroll.

There was this one savings and loan. An "up and comer" had a real "saga" boy running the place. Throwing lavish parties, jet setting around making investments, etc. When I did the transfers each month it chapped my arse to see some of our employees using this bank, not a lot probably less than a dozen. As time went on and I see more and more glamourous headlines about this clown, I finally spoke with HR. I told them, you sit down with these individuals (I never saw the names) and explain to them the risks of a savings and loan and the slack regs versus two of the other banks (which are the only two the US govt approved of), and tell them to come see me if they dont understand.

Within two payrolls there was no transfer to saga boy's savings and loan....in less than a year they were bankrupt. I aint no financial whiz but dont piss down my back and tell me its raining.

My company probably has $10 million of weekly payroll to hourly people. How the hell would they manage that one single aspect of the business from $250k accounts? You can't can't a big bank without an ESG aspect.

Yeah, because it’s so easy to know on a daily basis how healthy and well-managed your bank is.

I’m all for free markets and accountability, but be realistic about it.

This is like the people who crow about healthcare being just fine in this country, but are oblivious to the fact that one diagnosis could wipe you out financially.

Are you under the impression that everybody has their funds offshore in the Cayman Islands & money in their mattress in Trinidad?

I think you misunderstand the $250K limits. It's total deposits within the entire FDIC system. NOT per bank.
Only the 1st $250k are insured. Doesn't matter if you have umpteen accounts at umpteen institutions, if they're all FDIC only $250k is insured (credit unions and s&l's, etc., have their own insurers with limits too)

Im saying if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Their crowing about their far reaching wokeness tells you volumes about what their priorities are.

Our current fed govt is a perfect example, your expertise in communications means nothing when applying for the FCC head, nor does the law when being appointed for the Supreme "woke" court. And you see the results in performance.
