Have we forgotten about the Silicon Valley Bank crash already
That was in part caused by peter thiel who called for a run on those banks.
Peter thiel is also the guy that wants these banks. That wants "freedom cities". That want to make sure you have zero freedom and privacy. That bank rolled JD Vance, and trump. And has explicitly stated his desires to destroy western society and financial order.
So....
Yeah, I remember.

Ladder kicking is really a good metaphor for many things that happened in the last 30 years.
Microsoft raises on interoperability and ergonomics and no bullshit, then starts making it so that nobody after it could.
Google raises on the web being open and interoperable and standard, then starts making it so that nobody after it could.
Facebook ... was always crap, but its initial advantage was being populated by real people and not bots, the same.

I'm so sick of Democrats helping fuck us over and pretending that we should be happy about it.
Instead of fighting this kind of shit tooth and nail the best they do is water it down and then send it to be passed.
Fucking maddening. Part of the fucking problem. Stop making deals and concessions to these fascist fucks.

Gee I hope people are working on truly decentralised open source alternatives.
Gifting cryptocurrency to the fascists and crypto bros has been a massive fumble from the left.

The fucking healthcare conglomerate (owned by UnitedHealth, yes that one) that bought up the majority of medical practices in my region just sent me a completely unsolicited debit or credit card.
They don’t provide my health insurance. They’re just who owns most of the doctors offices around here.
