@brad_frost And staggering to think how impossible that will be for future generations because of how badly we've mucked up copyright law.
If my "eat the rich" mentality wasn't cemented before, the fact that SVB paid out bonuses immediately before failing has done it.
People say that if America raises taxes on millionaires and billionaires, then they'll just go and run their business in other countries.
Good. GTFO.
@AriCohn @NatlSecCnslrs @mmasnick Don't worry, if it's gonna fail, it won't be soon, it'll be in 5 years when your place floods while you're on vacation.

So the federal government is now stepping in to make sure the rich folks don't feel any pain so they don't retaliate by destroying our entire economy.
And, yes, I know "retaliate" is really "panic like a herd frightened sheep" but still.
We really are just peasants living in a world built for oligarchs.
@annmlipton Ahhhh. That sounds.... extremely reasonable.
@annmlipton So this is basically a stopgap until they can find a buyer? They're not actually permanently paying these people off with taxpayer money, right?

@nsarwark For most of my life, it was absolutely "disrespectful to the millions who died" to "[evoke] the Nazis". But it occurs to me that the reason why is analogous to why one should not falsely cry "Wolf".
Only now, the wolves are trying to convince us that the lesson of that parable was to remain silent even as they circle our homesteads, ready to strike.

@acjay @Pat Strongly disagree with a 100-employee company being considered "small".
Another point: If you're doing $250k per period in payroll, that's $6.5 million per year in payroll expenses alone. That means that company's bringing in at least ~$10 mil a year just to break even without even considering material or facility costs.
These are not small companies we're talking about.
@lucifargundam @DavidBond Well, yeah, of course. I've been doing a variation on that for years (who doesn't?), but the efficiency isn't great, so I'm experimenting with strapping model rockets to the pigeons' backs.
