SVB also backed LGBTQ projects as well NOT real Finance

Time to replace Parole board with ex victims kin, cops alone

& Oh Yes San Quentin is to be a Rehab Center ala Norway model

Hi Ken. Happy to hear that POS will remain behind bars. Can’t imagine the pain he inflicted on you and your family. You shouldn’t have to endure this parole nonsense every 5 years. At the very least, he should have received life in prison. That’s where killers belong.

He did receive Life in Prison after his Death sentence was commuted along with all California Death sentence inmates. Unfortunately they didn’t have Life without parole on the law books at that time and a Life sentence in California meant possible parole after 7 years.

Linda. Thanks for the additional info. That’s unfortunate but, I do understand it’s California where they’re soft on criminals.

So very happy he’s held back another 5 years Ken. I also wish it were way more but we’ll take this gladly. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I’m thankful for your strength & perseverance. Well done!

While I disagree with all the BLM and wokeness of SVB, I don't think it's why it failed. It failed because of Biden inflationary policies. And now they're asking we, the Deplorables, to bail them out. They mock, ridicule, and hate us, but when something like this happens, they always come crawling back to the Deplorables.

Also, congratulations on the hearing. I'm very happy you get five more years of reprieve.

I'm not a bank expert, but their big positions in long term bonds were definitely hurt by rising interest rates, and that definitely comes back to the administration.

Some of the spend-anything-we've-got-Covid started under Trump, but Biden et al made it worse, especially when they pushed through big time budget increases under the guise of "fighting inflation." They knew that was a sham, but couldn't let a crises go to waste.

Still, there are almost 5,000 banks in America, so SVB can't complain too much about a financial situation that 4,998 of the others saw and prepared for.

And thank you.
