Are you genuinely making this comparison or projecting what this looks like to the average American? The people who will be hit hardest by this aren't "dumb" depositors of SVB, they're employees and businesses that "banked with a bad bank". Blame the cowardice of the VCs that triggered the bank run and the arrogance of the bankers at SVB, blame to a lesser extent the businesses that banked with SVB maybe, but don't tell me "serve's 'em right" for the employees who face furlough or layoffs.
