Silicon Valley tech moguls are pouring money into moderate legislators' re-election bids in an attempt to unset progressives blamed for the city's demise

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 10, 2024

Silicon Valley investors, executives, and CEOs are all hoping to influence public opinion by staging fundraisers for local candidates and funding city ballot initiatives. They were able to depose San Francisco's district attorney Chesa Boudin and three school board members in 2022. Residents are now being encouraged by moderate Democrats running for local and municipal offices this year. It's part of a movement to make the city safer as well as a better place to raise families and run businesses. San Francisco's violent, opioid, and homeless problems were largely blamed on the city's new democratic mayor for being too soft.

It's a 'city of yesterday', where nostalgic Americans will be able to get out of the modern world's problems. According to the city's founders, children will walk to school and grandparents will live down the street from their grandparents. Children are seen riding their bikes down tree-lined streets and families canoeing on lily-covered lakes, according to one of the promo photos. A mystery group of Silicon Valley moguls has paid $900 million for 50,000 acres of rural property in Solano County, north-east of San Francisco, and claims that the'sustainable community' could house 400,000 people on a single day.

Following the bank's demise, customers crowd around a block outside Silicon Valley Bank. Customers are concerned about losing $250,000

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 11, 2023

Following the bank's sudden demise, customers have started calling to withdraw their funds from Silicon Valley Bank. Customers were seen line up outside the bank's Menlo Park, California, and New York's Manhattan, New York, in a video shared on social media. After a group of dissatisfied tech founders turned up on the doorstep in an effort to withhold their money, panic in Manhattan erupted to the point that building managers at SVB's office called the cops. The bank, which was established in 1982, was the first bank in Silicon Valley and concentrated on lending to start-up technology firms.
