A gay socialist woman social justice warrior with no banking experience checked all of the leftist boxes.

Wokeness has replaced competence and merit across the banking sector, and San Francisco Fed Chief Mary Daly is the poster child of this pernicious trend.
A protege of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and short-list candidate for Federal Reserve vice chair, Daly was supposed to be supervising Silicon Valley Bank but apparently was too busy playing politics and pushing woke agendas to regulate rogue banks like SVB, the second-biggest bank failure on record.
Daly had other priorities, including climate change, George Floyd and Black Lives Matter, inequities between blacks and whites, LGBTQ+ rights and a host of other woke social-justice issues that had nothing to do with banking and finance.

Retired Fed Reserve Bank president in Kansas City Thomas Hoenig warned last summer a number of banks were on shaky ground ……his warning was dead nuts on.
If there were more like Hoenig crafting monetary policy we would likely be in a much better place….an excerpt from a Politico piece that explains Hoenig’s monetary battles with the other Fed Bank presidents…..

As a bank examiner, Hoenig spent the 1970s watching as the Fed’s policies helped pile on the inflationary tinder that would later ignite. These policies are known as “easy money” policies, meaning that the Fed was keeping interest rates so low that borrowing was cheap and easy.
The Fed had kept interest rates so low during the 1960s that they were effectively negative when accounting for inflation by the late 1970s. When rates are effectively negative, that might be called a super-easy money policy. This kind of environment fuels inflation because all that easy money is looking for a place to go.
Economists call this phenomenon “too many dollars chasing too few goods,” meaning that everybody is spending the easy money, which drives up the prices of the things they are buying because demand is high. Importantly, the Fed creates these conditions by creating more and more dollars, or increasing the monetary supply, as the economists say.
As a bank examiner, Hoenig realized another very important thing. Easy money policies don’t just drive up the price of consumer goods, like bread and cars. The money also drives up price of assets like stocks, bonds and real estate. During the 1970s, low interest rates fueled demand for assets, which eventually inflated asset bubbles across the Midwest, including in heavy farming states, such as Kansas and Nebraska, and in the energy-producing state of Oklahoma. When asset prices like this rise quickly, it creates that dreaded thing called an asset bubble.

YEP ... J Powell should have asked her to resign last week. But, then he'd have to deal with calls for his resignation.
"She actively supports the Bank’s commitment to understanding the economic and financial risks of climate change and inequities, issues that materially affect the Fed’s mandate and the growth and competitiveness of our nation."
"As an economist, Mary has published widely on topics such as wage growth and income inequality, disability insurance and policy, and indices of happiness."
... I wonder how that "indice of happiness" is looking about now?
LINK /
... and then look at the nonsense the bank was doing in the name of DEI ...
SVB's commitment to advance inclusion and opportunity.

Inclusion Ignites Innovation

... the last link was updated Aug 2o22... instead of focusing on Risk Mgt, they focused on nonsense.

Yep ... and he was the one person on the Feb pushing against keeping interest rates near zero long term. They need him back at the Fed.

Meh banking and finance helped create some of those issues (redlining, etc.)

She’s not an economist. She’s an sjw that thinks wealth transfer will solve problems.

So what’s worse? Not loaning to people who are a risk? Or the everyone should buy a house route?
Here’s the problem. Keep up your shite and it will be nice.
Remember someone posted a video of a guy driving through the br ghettos. One street, the only guy with a nice house was the only one out doing his lawn.

When a woman presents herself looking like that on a professional level, you should assume she’s insane and homeless and never hire her for any position.
