For apologists, #SVB's #bailout was mere prudence: innocent bystanders stood in harm's way - rank-and-file startup employees, elite private school scholarship kids -so regulators improvised measures to make everyone whole without costing the public a dime. What's not to like?

But that account doesn't hold up to even the most cursory scrutiny. Everything about it is untrue. Take the idea that this wasn't a "bailout" because it was the depositors who got rescued, not the shareholders.

Supposedly, the #SiliconValleyBank #bailout wasn't a bailout: in a bailout, the *investors* get public money; but with #SVB, it was the depositors. But, of course, SVB's owners were also depositors in their bank. All in all, SVB's owners are entitled to $2B in public money. 1/

When #Biden said, "investors in the banks will not be protected. They knowingly took a risk and when the risk didn’t pay off, investors lose their money. That’s how capitalism works," he was ignoring the fact that this isn't how *the law* works. 3/

2/4: The program is like what central banks have done for many years: lending money to banks so that customers can always access their accounts.
3/4: This new program will let banks borrow money from the Fed instead of having to sell off assets like Treasuries to pay their customers.

Let's take a look at how #Covid19 has been successfully leveraged (both fear & distraction) in order to aid the largest transformation of the global economic system in modern history. Assigning monetary value to nature ("natural capital") will replace #GDP.

US #oilprice crashed negative for the 1st time in history. West Texas Intermediate (a US crude) traded as low as -$40.32 a barrel. So far the bulk of the losses are in US crude, -200 to -1000%! Global (Brent) crude has not gone down as much because global storage still exists.
SPECIAL REPORT:Despite leaving nearly every other sector of the economy in ruins, the #COVID19 pandemic has been a windfall for the for-profit #healthcare industry, which is expecting to make dazzling profits off of the crisis.

Richard Branson's airline Virgin Atlantic has asked its employees to take eight weeks unpaid leave over the next three months, but is calling for a €8.5 billion bailout package for its industry.
Branson has not paid income tax since moving to the tax-free British Virgin Islands 14 years ago. Also dividends sent to Branson’s residence Necker Island are not taxed at all.

We need BETTER OVERSIGHT of a #bailout for the #COVID19 crisis. It's worth $5 trillion - a quarter of GDP. We need to use Phase 4 legislation to improve oversight. Let's not play small ball. (Hat tip: @kyledcheney+@mzanona) THREAD 1/12
.@RepKatiePorter, mindful that the public remembers the #bailout of #WallStreet all too well, hits the right notes: “In the wake of the financial crisis 10 years ago, there are going to be a lot of suspicions. Can we trust the Fed and the Treasury?” 2/12 politico.com/news/2020/04/0…
.@ChuckGrassley is adding a bipartisan tone to the discussions. “Now, more than ever, it’s critical that we ensure that this money is used as intended,” Grassley said. He’s a longtime fan of good oversight. 3/12 grassley.senate.gov/issues-legisla…
#WallStreet sees a public health crisis as an opportunity to profit, and it shows in the McConnell #bailout plan, a multi-trillion-dollar giveaway to corporate America that @GoldmanSachs may actually run! Check it out and fight back: THREAD 1/10 washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
The plan envisions two pots of money for the bailout, $75 billion pot and a $425 billion pot. The smaller pot (for airlines and industries deemed important for national security) has some restrictions on it, but they are minimal 2/10
Executives couldn’t earn more than what they did the previous year (a record year for airline bosses) the restrictions last only 2 years, even though the loans from the $75 billion pot would last 5 years. No requirement to give taxpayers equity. Minimal buyback limitations 3/10
#bailout Here's how America could kill two crises with one piece of legislation. Give all the companies asking for bailouts all the money they're asking for. Every penny. Instead of issuing more debt however, buy equity. Purchase ownership in them.
Take that aggregate equity and create a sovereign corporation that issues shares directly to every American citizen and sets up trusts for our children. Require the payment of quarterly dividends to be distributed directly via direct deposit to shareholders.
This way we wouldn't be working for "the man". We'd be the man. Encourage every business enterprise out there to come eat at the trough. Suck on the govt teat and bring the corporate socialism out into the open where we can see it and benefit from it.
