What If? … Hmmm, Just Asking!

Was there some skulduggery involved in the recent bank bailouts? Keep in mind that I am not accusing anyone, but rather I am just asking.

What if the banks that were bailed out, namely Silicon Valley Bank (SVC) and First Republic, had been located in a red state, like Florida, instead of in California, a notoriously blue state?  And what if, in addition, the Governor in that red state had a significant amount tied up in either of those red state banks? Was the fact that California’s Governor Newsom’s wineries were hugely invested in SVC merely a coincidence? What if the Governor of Florida was hugely invested in one of the failed banks? Would anything different have occurred?

Hmmm! … Just asking!

Likewise what if the recent railroad catastrophe had occurred in a blue state like Illinois instead of Ohio? Would the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, have made time in his busy schedule to visit the beleaguered small town sooner? Similarly would Buttigieg have commented that railroad accidents are not a big deal as they occur all the time? Furthermore, would President Biden have found time in his important schedule to visit suffering East Palestine, if East Palestine had been located in Illinois?

Hmmm! … Just asking!
