    Silicon Valley should have tried that.

    Probably a better deal than putting your money in it.

    I don’t think 97 dozen will be enough.

    They’re going to have to sell Samoa.

    Shouldn’t it be Third World instead of Third national?

    No bake sale needed here, my bank sent me an email telling me they are in good shape and not to worry. That worries me.

    Poor management, too many big bonuses…that’s what broke the bank!

    Maybe the executives will give up their bonuses and take a salary cut? That would have been a funnier punchline.

    Did you know that Silicon bank paid their executives before announcing their money problems? It’s as if they were more important than the customers.

    But the Third National Bank merged with the Fifth National Bank to create the 5th/3rd National Bank.

    Their risk management system was flashing red, so they changed the system, or so I read.<https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/04/02/svb-collapse-risk-model/>Banks always fail eventually or need to be propped up. Bank failures were a major part of my American history courses in high school.

    There is something strange about this drawing. Maybe it’s just seeing it from the perspective of a retiree with all his money in a bank. :)

    Rounding things out, that is about $535 worth of Girl Scout cookies. If that is all they need, I’m thinking the bank doesn’t have very much in assets!

    They should sell faster when the crowd shows up for the run on the bank.

    If they’re Crumbl they only need to sell 2 dozen; at the price they are.
