AN OPEN LETTER to THE U.S. CONGRESS

Hold Bank Execs Financially Accountable for Mismanagement! Pass the DEPOSIT Act.

274 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

I am writing to urge you to pass the Deliver Executive Profits on Seized Institutions to Taxpayers (DEPOSIT) Act that was recently introduced by Sen. Richard Blumenthal and U.S. Reps Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Mike Levin (D-CA).

This important legislation would hold executives at failed banks financially responsible for their mismanagement and prevent them from selling off shares of stock, potentially profiting from their bank failure -- like Silicon Valley Bank CEO Greg Becker might have done when he sold $3.6 million of stock shortly before the collapse of SVB.

American taxpayers shouldn’t be left holding the bag and bailing out banks while their executives are walking away with multi-million dollar compensation and bonus packages. Please respond in writing and let me know you co-sponsored this bill. Thanks!

On Bailing Out - Steven Universe: Space Race

Most TV shows often exclaim perserverence, never giving up on your mission. Rarely do you see a TV show say it's all right to change direction. Steven Universe has a plethora of great messages, but one stands out personally.

Space Race highlights Pearl (an alien sentient rock) forlorned need to go back to her home world and to show Steven (a half-alien sentient protagonist) his galactic roots. She decided to build a rocketship with Steven and his earthly father, Greg. For laughs they make a flying machine worthy of domestic flights, but Pearl's aspiration goes farther than that, she wants to show Steven the stars. They attempt to break through our atmosphere, but the materials used to make their rocketship cannot withstand interatellar travel. Steven convinces Pearl that she has to know when to bail.

This resonates and parallels my life so we'll after much reflection of my 20s. I spent most of that decade studying for a test and a designation that was just out of reach. After many years of putting myself through undue stress I convinced myself to bail and change direction. I hope my kids will take this lesson from Steven Universe and know when to bail a goal that doesn't fit.
