When a spoiled baby misbehaves, you send them to their room, not the White House. At his advanced age, it is time to give up hope that Trump will ever grow up. We need a leader, not a child.

Fed/FDIC decisions on SVB determine whether they risk a bank run trillions of dollars in size. 1/3 of US deposits are in small banks and ~50% are uninsured. Haircutting SVB depositors will raise sensible questions about holding deposits at any small bank, risking a broader run.

Thousands of startups and small businesses are at risk due to the SVB failure. We ask for depositors to be made whole, and for regulation to prevent this catastrophe. 650 founders who employ more than 22,000 people, have already signed.

Nearly 40,000 of all depositors at Silicon Valley Bank were small businesses. If swift action isnโt taken, over 100,000 people could soon lose their jobs.

Generally speaking, you try to solve a problem before it gets worse. The loss of confidence attendant to the sudden failure of Silicon Valley Bank will spread. Would you rather backstop 1 bank failure or 10?

Silicon Valley Bank has been a critical component of America's startup ecosystem. I look forward to working with SVB's successor, and hope the FDIC will act quickly to establish one.
