Join the Whiskey Bench for a discussion about the SVB collapse. Kat and Stephen dive into fractional reserve banking, bonds, inflation, and alternatives to the current system. Is this collapse as big a deal as people are making it out to be? What are the side effects of bailing out these banks? The Bench gets into all this and more.
