Two quick examples of what’s wrong with our banking “regulation” in America:
The CEO of Silicon Valley Bank, Gregory W. Becker, sat on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. You know, the same Federal Reserve that was responsible for “supervising” and “regulating” Silicon Valley Bank.
This is a literal case of hiring foxes to guard the hen house.
It gets worse. Before the FDIC took over, Silicon Valley Bank employees received their annual bonuses that ranged anywhere from $12k to $250k
The system is broken. Or it’s working exactly as planned, depending on your perspective, I guess. (source) (source)
We need to bring back strong government regulations over things like banking and railroads, for example.
