Silicon Valley Bank, Financial Nihilism, and EVEN MORE All Caps Tweets - AD FREE

Damn I know I paid to be here, yet I didn't expect to see old man cheeks clapped for free

"I'm a very serious and respectable person, which is why I whine about speech patterns and give a 'kids these days' rant instead of bringing up a single meaningful critique."

Taylor Putnam

Only when it is needed to bail out the outrageously greedy and stupid when they are responsible for catastrophic business failures over their efforts to enrich only themselves at the expense of society. Seems we have forests of trees to pay for that, but only barren deserts when it comes to helping the rest of us with anything.

I mean, money is made of paper. Facts & Logic.

As someone who is also a little bit skeptic of Kyla, as I expressed in my comment above, but lacks the economic background to authoratively ascertain the validity of her opinions, I must say that the emphasis on her intonation is really couterproductive. I am not at all concerned with her valley girl accent (if she indeed has one, which I did not think she had). I am, however, concerned that her criticism of SVB collapse may be more aligned to libertarian bitcoin ideology than with a leftist critique of the financial system.

So let me get this straight, you're mad that you're being over looked and it's this woman's speak patterns to blame? Or maybe, just maybe, you're not that smart even when you use proper grammar and that's why you're over looked, along with your personality being garbage, while this guest is smart and also a good teacher which is why they phrase things the way they do and you're too up your own arse to notice.

Clearly I still have grumpy old man heights left to achieve. I look forward to yelling at clouds in my future.

I have a question about the economy: does money in fact grow on trees?

Daniel Leach

I'm surprised you didn't bitch about vocal fry, too?

Sigh...uptalk. Right? Like? Totally? Whatever? How did language fail *BACK* to Valley Girl? I have a degree in Economics, and I explain complex financial, healthcare, and technology concepts on a daily basis to laymen. I guess I should change my way of speaking though? And then I could talk to them about hustle culture? And passive income? So I sound more like a moron? So I can be more approachable? And then I am less scary? And not a crusty old Gen Xer? Or I could not do that and continue to be paid actual dollars for actual work instead of digital dollars in trade for followers or "passive income" (that is merely living off of other people's work which is identical to the capital class of citizenry except that you aren't rich yet). I look forward to you pitching KylaCoin within the next 5 years.
