A bit of a qualifier on this: the FDIC insures up to 250K per depositor (SSN/ITIN) at each bank and any deposits above that are going to resolved through a standard bankruptcy process of selling assets and going through the creditor tiers (employees, contractors, secured debtors such as depositors, uninsured depositors, preferred stock holders, common stock holders).

The two largest operating un-insured banks: BNY Mellon, Northern Trust, and State Street are custodial banks that primarily serve corporates. Citibank is uninsured from its large global operations where they are covered by *other* countries deposit insurance schemes. The numbers seem weird on everything else: CIBC, East West, and Frost for example, are all retail outlets and there high insured levels is suspicious

Ever wonder why the Indian gov. demands countries accept Indian migrants and “students“ if they want good relations with India? Because India cannot sustain the population it already has (hunger and malnutrition are already serious problems in India) and wants to offload the problem to other countries and furthermore, given caste nepotism, Indian diaspora will influence elections to favour India eg Modi and BJP and Adani networks of Indian satrapies.


the Kennedy’ s are a part of the US ruling elites. I believe the deep state put forth a Kennedy to head off trump‘s probably return to power.
Biden's elite backers aren't going to let this happen. They will sabotage or force out Kennedy. Don't forget that even within parties and bureaucracies, the ruling elites are made up of factions.

Yellen speech on US-China relations today, picking out the parts I find interesting

The leadership/primacy focus
"Importantly, our economic power is amplified because we don’t stand alone. America values our close friends and partners in every region of the world, including the Indo-Pacific. In the 21st century, no country in isolation can create a strong and sustainable economy for its people. That’s why, under President Biden’s leadership, we’ve sought to rebuild and reinvest in our relationships with other countries.

All this to say: China’s economic growth need not be incompatible with U.S. economic leadership. The United States remains the most dynamic and prosperous economy in the world. We have no reason to fear healthy economic competition with any country."

Unusual national security focus from the Treasury Dept.
"As we take these actions, let me be clear: these national security actions are not designed for us to gain a competitive economic advantage, or stifle China’s economic and technological modernization. Even though these policies may have economic impacts, they are driven by straightforward national security considerations. We will not compromise on these concerns, even when they force trade-offs with our economic interests."

That's not what I am getting from that quote. What she really says here is that China doesn't only have to deal with just the US but the entire American Empire instead. Also, "America values our close friends and partners" lol

The "friends and partners" are a function of US leadership/empire/primacy/hegemony/whatever you want to call it so this is largely a circular meme

She just needed to send a memo to the vassals and save everyone's time

"Our unilateral decisions on China that you must follow will probably fuck you a good one economically but look at the bigger picture"
