    That kind of "power" can turn on a dime. I'd be wary of it. In this case the mob learned they have influence when they work together. That doesn't mean they are loyal to Altman, ra…

    The question is, what would it take for a bank to be allowed to fail? The FDIC insurance line of $250k must've meant something .

    Yes, now I wonder if anyone is allowed to fail. David Sacks complained that if the regionals aren't protected, then everyone will only bank with the big four. Yet if everyone is pr…

    The run they were tweeting about was a wider one on all regional banks. Did not happen at time of their tweets, they were speculating about the future. Why was it the VCs impacted …

    I like your honest answers here. It's refreshing to hear in the tech space after a decade of wanna-be Jobs copycats. Good luck with the business.

    China's exit, as happened 70-80 years ago, would cause us to have to work more. That might not be such a bad thing, though I doubt it will happen to the same degree. It's still fre…
