Small banks and small family own hardware stores and businesses. Is there a pattern developing ?

Chinese vending machines, they're everywhere !

War with these people? Most unlikely.
Economic and political takeover? Already in progress.

#2 It is a lot easier to control, nationalize, leverage to circumvent individual rights… 3 Or 4 companies in an industry than 100’s. See cloud computing, social media, political parties as good examples.

#3 Quite frankly I don't care who the depositor is or where he/she/it is from. They need to be made whole. If you really want to encourage bank runs by plummeting trust & confidence in the banking system, then treat depositors like crap.

#6 Place I visit often, had a mom and pop themed souvenir store. Visited their last year, out of business sale, couple Chinese walking around with cameras like a real estate scout, not tourists.

Now, they sell crap and I have yet to see anyone in the parking lot. An actual eyesore.

#7 They announced it would not cost taxpayers, only the innocent banks which would have to pay increase amounts to the the Federal Deposit Insurance fund, to cover the payments to depositors not authorized by previous rules.
This would give the Treasury a windfall. It will take over the banks and book a charge to the treasury of the mark to market value, which includes the loss; will not actually pay anything, and sell the bonds when they mature, at face value
The losers will be the banks that have to oay more to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp to recoup payments to the uninsured depositors.
This will of course weaken smaller banks which will have to pay for the mistakes of others..
That those others happen to be big donors the the
Democrats who would love to have more banks similarly fail is a mere coincidence. i

#8 What Frank said at #4. Anything over that is cheating the rest of us.

Life is not without risk.

You think you're safe buying ten year government bonds at one percent interest? No, you're not. Stupidity is never safe.

And all these depositors who thought they'd be safe just putting their fortunes in the bank instead of investing in stocks, real estate or business ventures? Too bad.

Remember the story Jesus told about the three slaves whose master gave them talents (money) and then went on a trip? From Matthew 25:25: The slave who was given five talents traded with them and doubled the money. The slave who was given two talents doubled that money. But the slave who was given one talent buried it in a hole that he dug in the back yard. Upon his return the master was pleased with the first two slaves and rewarded them. But not the third. "You wicked and lazy slave," said the master on his return. "Throw him into the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth."

That's not the whole story but you all know where you can read it for yourselves.

So this story is as old as the Bible. The wrinkle now is the gang of crooks that run our government who will make us pay to rescue the wicked, lazy slave from his own folly. Not only that. They are setting a precedent in which taxpayers are on the hook for all the wicked, lazy bankers in the country and all of their wicked, lazy depositors. And what's the point in FDIC insurance, what's the point in playing by the rules if Uncle Sugar will bail you out anyway?

Finally, how do Biden and Yellen get away with giving our money to failed banks without Congressional approval?
