US government bailout of Silicon Valley and banks is $300B gift to rich oligarchs

from Geopolitical Economy Report · host Ben Norton

The US Federal Reserve printed $300 billion in one week to save collapsing banks and bail out wealthy Silicon Valley oligarchs. 93% of Silicon Valley Bank's deposits were uninsured, over the FDIC limit of $250,000, but the government still paid them. 56% of SVB's loans went to venture capitalist and private equity firms.
