This meme is a humorous commentary on the 2023 Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapse. It presents a fictional conversation between a wealthy person and a homeless person, where the wealthy person is oblivious to the suffering of the homeless person, only to be told that the wealthy person's bank, SVB, has failed and is now being bailed out by the US government. The text reads: "I'm just saying, I've been living on the streets for years and I've never had to worry about my bank going under. But I guess that's just because I don't have any money. Oh wait, I do have money. It's just invested in your bank. So, when your bank fails and you lose all your money, I'll just laugh and say 'I told you so'."

@) Ally Maynard ik ¥ @missmayn really fucked how a corporation can purchase thousands of apartments, jack up the rents, destroying hundreds of families and there's no backlash but one unhoused guy yells on a train and our society cheers his murder. Ua) Ally Maynard @missmayn if we want to have a serious convo about who is actually causing harm and threatening our lives, let's start with hedge funds and private equity.
