@jasoncrawford @moskov @AlecStapp I think it’s more intuitive in a gold-backed system. The amount of money in circulation is a function not strictly of how much gold is in the vaults but of how aggressively banks loan based on those reserves. Which is why one institution does bank regulation & monetary policy. — PolitiTweet.org

@jasoncrawford @moskov @AlecStapp I have an open line of credit with Chase that I’m currently not using. But I could, right now, go online and use it to get a loan. That would put more money instantly in my bank account and Jamie Dimon doesn’t need to scrounge it up from someone else’s account. It just appears. — PolitiTweet.org

SVB was actually profitable as a going concern and if the depositors *hadn’t* monitored the risks there’s a good chance everything would have worked out fine. But the system of uninsured deposits leading big depositors to pay attention to the balance sheet worked. Or “worked.” — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t think crazy to expect at all. At SVB for example some depositors noted the mark-to-market losses on bonds made the bank riskier and responded by pulling their money out. The problem is that collapsed the bank which in turn threatened to collapse other banks. — PolitiTweet.org

The great irony of all this is that the main reason the media is so much more inflected with omnidirectional negativity these days is that the internet disrupted the calmer, more staid, more neutral-toned business models that used to prevail. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — PolitiTweet.org

It’s absolutely true that the tech/VC world gets beat up unfairly some in the press, but this is true of literally everyone in society — including “the media” — and it’s hard to think of any sector with a better track record of winning policy fights. — PolitiTweet.org

Left of center writers and intellectuals are going to continue to furiously debate wokeness and cancel culture with further-left writers and intellectuals until the end of times, but it seems like 90% of Biden's political problems are due to fiscal/monetary decisions from 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

This is what I don’t 100% get about the SVB rescue. In 2008 the worry was banking crisis would weaken an already depressed economy. But if today’s economy is overheated, it seems like a stronger case for rolling the dice knowing the Fed can cut rates to support growth. — PolitiTweet.org

You know what would slow inflation would be if a nice chunk of America’s uninsured banking deposits went up in smoke, several banks failed, and the survivors jacked up interest rates on deposits to compete for customers’ money. — PolitiTweet.org
