As you know, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank have failed and now Credit Suisse is teetering:
The stock market opened with steep losses Wednesday as concerns about the health of Credit Suisse triggered fears of a broader banking crisis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened with a loss 1.5 percent Wednesday, a decline of almost 500 points after the opening bell. The S&P 500 index opened with a loss of 1.4 percent and the Nasdaq composite opened with a loss of 1.1 percent.
Stock futures began selling off before the stock market opened Wednesday as U.S. traders watched shares of Credit Suisse plunge more than 30 percent in overseas trading, according to CNBC. Investors began to lose confidence in the bank after the chairman of the Saudi National Bank, Credit Suisse’s largest investor, told Reuters that the Saudi central bank would not boost its investment in the troubled Swiss firm.
Tucker Carlson took a look at what some executives at the collapsed banks had been at least partly focusing on before the crash. Suffice to say it had nothing to do with banking:

Here’s the entire segment. Watch:
Could those banks have stayed in business a little longer if there would have been more focus on banking?

Woke literally went broke! Then, the victims (SVB members/employees.) of their own wokeness get reimbursed by the woke (Biden Administration) “rights” authority! 👥🇺🇸💰🙄 https://t.co/tPg79Z3rba

Helps to actually do banking principles. If you’re in a bank like this get out.
