SVB was a bank that mostly served corporate operations accounts for tehc nad healthcare startups and small businesses. People were not banking there for high returns. This is not at all about risky investments (ffs the bank liquidity crunch came from long term bonds being too illiquid -- not exactly exotic asset management). The accounts impacted are mostly payroll, daily operating accounts (for expenses/manufacturing expenses/real estate lease payments etc).
The bank managers and investors are not being bailed out -- they have already lost everything.
You seem to be attaching some kind of anger for some ill conceived and non existant "happy go lucky risk wall street bet" type of activity, when this is about buisnesses losing their operating accounts who did nothing wrong except for have accounts at this bank instead of the next bank over.
