What an incredible band. Everything about them is minimal and immediate. Possessed by a mania, you can't take your eyes off them. Ricky the most original guitarist in a decade, everyone's role perfectly defined... Like a Taj Mahal made of twigs.

The B-52's on SNL, January 26, 1980. Incredible.

@danielfile Thank you. I mean i don’t want it to *happen*, I just want to know I’m not crazy.
English
@davidclowery @pjrodriguez It’s fine. Not answering is it’s own answer. Wanting to hurt the rich and wanting to help the plebes aren’t always the same thing.

@RickWebb @pjrodriguez If you cared about normies you wouldn't be in digital advertising. You're clearly full of shit.
English
Since when do Digital Agency/Programatic Advertising CEOs care about the little guy. This has got to be a shill account.

@davidclowery Once again, you left out a bunch of normies not getting a paycheck. Out of the blue. Through no fault of their own. What did I get wrong?
English
@davidclowery @pjrodriguez Just wanna know exactly how many normies missing their paychecks is okay with you in order to put a minor inconsequential scratch in some rich people’s wealth. A thousand? Ten? A hundred?
English
@davidclowery @pjrodriguez It certainly is too bad but it don’t mean SVB didn’t have a bunch of payroll money for normies which for some reason really stumps you.
English
@pjrodriguez @RickWebb Too bad he picked one of the most scammy business: digital advertising.
English
@davidclowery Wowwww. Yes caring about people and their paychecks makes someone an asshole. Might be time for a break. Certainly is for me.
English
@RickWebb I can't believe an asshole like you has friends.

So a VC invests in a startup. The startup loses money in a bank collapse. But instead of the VC helping the startup (they probably own it) it's the responsibility of the rest of us (via increased bank fees) to bail out the startup owned by a rich investor. What did I get wrong?

@davidclowery You're acting like Roku is the only company there. Take two minutes and look around this site. Plenty of companies couldn't make payroll. Plenty of companies kept all their money in SBV. Shit, SVB MADE a bunch of them do it.

According to last financial statement, Roku has more than 900 million in cash in other banks. They should use that 900 million to pay employees until SVB is settled. At which point they get most of their cash back. They didn't need a fed bailout but we bailed them out.

@davidclowery You're ignoring the core problem: how do you make sure the workers get paid. The plebes. Labor. You bail or the bank, let payrolls fail, or find a way to split the baby over a weekend and get through the fed, treasury, exec branch and congress.

They could use the other 900 million they have in other banks. Look at the publicly available financial statements.

@davidclowery No, I'm askikng how they are expected to PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES, without exposing themselves to this kind of risk. The employees. People. Just folks. Who have jobs. Pretty sure they deserve their paychecks.

Rokus has 3600 employees. But apparently no risk management folks. So many semi anonymous accounts ostensibly liberal or progressive crying crocodile tears for big corps.
Rick Webb@RickWebb
@davidclowery Roku's payroll, for 3,600 employees, maybe 10 of which are those rich people, is probably around $100 million a month. What was Roku's sin here? Should they keep payroll in 200 separate bank accounts, refilling them all every two weeks from some non-banking money warehouse?

Again more semantics. What accounts like this are trying to do is obscure the fact, this is a fed bailout of very wealthy customers of Silicon Valley Bank. e.g. Roku which has nearly $500 million in cash sitting in SVB bank, does not qualify for FDIC insurance. Yet gets paid.
English
@RickWebb Still need a bank account to use Venmo 😭
But bigger banks with more diversified user bases shouldn’t be too concerned…

@heyitsnoah Good to see @photomatt chiming in there. That’d give it some real scale.
English
@RickWebb Agree. There was an interesting convo about this with the head of Stability, will try and dig up.

@augstone @360degreesound Got as far as making membership cards but that’s where it ended. You guys wanna be members 2 and 3?

@360degreesound @RickWebb has often talked about making a Longbox Museum

Who here still has their longboxes? It came as a shock to me to find out this was only a thing in the US. And an even greater shock to see not 1 but 2 Miami Vice soundtracks still in theirs at Stereo Jack's last week. New edition of The Counterforce here - augstone.substack.com/p/the-counterf…
