Or perhaps, just perhaps, the nation’s supposedly leading business newspaper would have better seen these failures coming if they had focused more on market, economic, and business conditions and less on obsessively rooting out the woke menace of women, people of color, LGBTQ people, and veterans(!) gaining token admission to the corridors of power and wealth.

you do not need corporate algorithms to recommend you movies and music: ask your friends!
your friends:
- have your best interests at heart
- will not sell your data for money
- enjoy sharing interests with you
- know your tastes and interests based on more than your purchase history

I'm not being hyperbolic. This was literally the bank that the most anti-woke people used. The people that write anti-woke books like this.
Black folk weren't architects of either the hedging strategy or the bank run.
Don't bank run on your own bank, then try to blame it on us.
I'm not saying that Black folk didn't care about the Venture Capital money in Silicon Valley Bank. I'm just saying that we probably cared about it ~98% less than the rest of y'all. 🤷🏿♂️

A Deep View of the Dwarf Spiral Galaxy NGC 3109 - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/2jCSJYJ
So I watched this #InsideMan miniseries on the #Netflix #TV thing, and I gotta say...
The "anyone is a murderer given the right (wrong) circumstances" theme may be true, but this show didn't convince me of it.
Ben did a BUNCH of entirely messed-up fckwad things to and around Janice on his journey, that I don't think most people would have done at all, let alone feel that they had no choice but to do.
Not really a very good vicar, imho.

My next business idea: The Boring Bank.
We don't speculate. We don't back risky ventures. We just have savings, checking, and--for the edgy--money market accounts. Comfortably profitable, but not profitable enough to attract vulture capitalists. If there's an organized bank run, the CEO works through lunch.
The Boring Bank. We don't play with your money.

However, "one should not attribute to malice what can be explained by plain stupidity".
The Twitter adventure only made everyone realize what a few had already seen years ago: Elon is no tech genius, no Tony Stark or Steve Jobs. He is just a repulsive, arrogant and TOTALLY INCOMPETENT moron, who got where he got only thanks to the inherited fortune and the broken rules of the "capitalsm" game. >>

This is why I'll probably never be an executive.
We were asked today how long a thing would take, and it was pointed out that the entire project has to be done by a certain future date, so we might want to work backwards from that.
I blatantly said that even if it turned out that we needed it by tomorrow by that calculation, we still wouldn't have it by tomorrow... 🫢

Phht yeah, I hate this argument. The only thing they "risk" is that they might possibly have to get a normal job like the rest of us. Or more likely, go back to Mom and Dad embarrassingly for more money.
