> When people say bailout, they refer to tax dollars going to bailing out an entity.

One thing I've learned over the years is that lots of people use words wrong, especially regarding financial topics.

After seeing the ridiculousness that gets posted any time topics like short selling, stock buy-backs, tax writeoffs or fed policy get discussed, I'd be cautious about assigning a narrow meaning to what random internet posters mean when they say "bailout".

Bailout can refer to depositors who could not get back 100% of their assets above the FDIC limit based solely on SVB assets getting made whole (what I was referring to) or to the shareholders getting made whole (which I took great pains to explain as a different situation I was not referring to). But fundamentally the term "bailout" could be used to refer to either and distinguishing those two states is valuable.
