It was roughly a month ago that SVB collapsed and had to be rescued, but the Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV didn't have a chance to talk about it at the time. But now it can be told. SVB stands for Silicon Valley Bank, and as such TSV heard on AM Newsradio that it was a bank for tech startups to retain their capital and revenue as they grow. TSV believes that SVB failed because it was the chickens coming back home to roost on the business model of forced obsolesence, so even though there was also New Republic Bank, TSV reassures investors that banks are -not- failing left and right just because of SVB. For anyone to believe that TSV sees as the moguls of forced obsolesence trying to make -their- problems into -everyone else's- problems. -Our- plans failed so therefore -you're- doomed. Not so much.

The Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV warns people to be criticially thinking when it comes to what he sees as below-the-fold press claiming that China is somehow a far better international negotiator than he believes it actually is, and is somehow "catching up" with the U.S.. In fact, those made to present such spin TSV sees as retaining the right to outright go "Oh this is B.S." before storming out the studio, Robert Novack -style. The example he heard in passing which was on a -non- business segment of Bloomberg business newsradio had to do with China making some kind of negotiation between Saudi Arabia and Iran on some kind of dispute, and TSV is pretty sure the anti-Biden NPR likely also echo chambered it for Morning Edition when they too did a segment on China The Great Negotiator. But if this is the only example they can come up with, TSV sees that as a very weak case, and not worth using Argument By Repetition over with the echo chamber, because let's look at it this way. These are what TSV observes as two totalitarian dictatorships being negotiated by, wait for it, -another- totalitarian dictatorship. TSV doesn't see this as all that significant, particularly if China hopes to get Ukraine to give up sovereign territory to Russia as part of the Great Negotiation. When President Xi visited President Zelensky, TSV didn't hear on the radio what the results of that visitation was, but does not believe China got Ukraine to give up territory. So that particular negotiation likely has failed with TSV, so so much for The Great Negotiator.
"Hey China, take your Great Negotiation and shove it."-Zelensky very likely
