Hence the old quote, " If you owe the bank a million dollars, you have a problem.
If you owe the bank 100 million dollars, the bank has a problem."
Sounds to me like this would be a good time to owe the bank 100 million.

For damn sure I have been wondering for over a year how people can afford $700 a month car payments in the first place. I had no idea they are paying a thousand and up every month.
Rent/ mortgage payments are already insane and then throw in insurance, cell phones, cable/ internet etc. and it doesn't surprise me one bit that nobody can really afford any of it.
For crying out loud, we are paying $250 a month just for cable/ internet!
That used to be low end car payment territory.
I have been watching prices on old classic pickups for the last two years and it has also gone completely insane.
$5000 MINIMUM for a mid 70's pickup that isn't rusted clear away.
Oh, you want one that runs and drives?
$7-$10K, THEN you get to restore it.
It's freaking STRAIGHT JACKET Territory!
I also agree that the Commercial Real Estate market is going to take the whole show down, again.
I saw well over a year ago that there were significant signs of distress there because, who woulda thunk it, they basically pulled the same crap there that they did in the run up to the housing crash and here we are again.
This, on top of everything else and I only see complete destruction of the entire Western economic system coming.
It's all connected and it's all rotten to the core.

Breaking news from the LA Times.

All Silicon Valley Bank customers’ funds guaranteed, U.S. government says

The U.S. government took extraordinary steps Sunday to stop a potential banking crisis after the historic failure of Silicon Valley Bank, assuring depositors at the failed financial institution that they would be able to access all of their money quickly.

The announcement came hours before trading began in Asia and amid fears that the factors behind the Santa Clara lender’s collapse could spread. Regulators had worked all weekend to come up with a buyer, and those efforts appeared to have failed as of Sunday.

Column: The Silicon Valley Bank collapse is Silicon Valley’s problem, not yours

March 10, 2023

In a sign of how quickly the financial bleeding was occurring, regulators announced that New York-based Signature Bank had failed and was being seized on Sunday. At more than $110 billion in assets, Signature Bank is the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history.

The Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and FDIC said Sunday that all Silicon Valley Bank clients will be protected and have access to their funds and announced steps designed to protect the bank’s customers and prevent more bank runs.

“This step will ensure that the U.S. banking system continues to perform its vital roles of protecting deposits and providing access to credit to households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth,” the agencies said in a joint statement.

Regulators had to rush to close Silicon Valley Bank, a financial institution with more than $200 billion in assets, on Friday when it experienced a traditional run on the bank where depositors rushed to withdraw their funds all at once. It is the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history, behind only the 2008 failure of Washington Mutual.
