If you're a bank that can't differentiate/navigate long term vs short term debts while experiencing ballooning deposits, then yes I agree it's time to jump ship and find a new profession.

I don't see how the US economy is to blame for the actions of a greedy monoculture based on "tech line go up". They made a long term bet on bonds with historically low interest rates, doubling down that the party would continue indefinitely. They didn't have a chief risk officer for 9 months! How is that the US economy's fault?

There's a reason they lobbied congress to weaken risk regulations.

I'm hoping people go to jail over this.
