   @georgetakei Alt text (so people who use assistive devices can see the text too):

   Was there regulatory failure? Perhaps. SVB was regulated like a bank but looked more like a money-market fund. Then there's this: In its proxy statement, SVB notes that besides 91% of their board being independent and 45% women, they also have "1 Black,» "1 LGBTQ+" and "2
   Veterans." I'm not saying 12 white men would have avoided this mess, but the company may have been distracted by diversity demands.

     Is there any way to take the WSJ seriously even on financial matters anymore?
