You do not have a right to a job at the taxpayers expense. We all feel for you and are rooting for the workers but no one has an inmate right to others money. Especially when the right being demanded is size figure salaries.

If you were to lose your job, there is a standardized insurance that kicks in that all Americans get.

You are demanding special, better treatment at the tax payers expense.

Look, everyone on this forum is going to be affected by this. I myself was laid off a few weeks ago due to the tech bubble.

It's still not right to demand other people's money and act entitled. We all get it's hard out there right now.

Ignoring the fact that millions of Americans literally have this, the taxpayers are on the hook for zero percent of the depositor restorations in SVB.
