The chutzpah here beggars belief. The VC “community” literally started the $SIVB run on Thursday, when it urged its portfolio companies to pull their deposits…which they did($42B). And they now want the Taxpayer to bailout their investments…?! Capitalism, Silicon Valley-style.

Wayne Shorter, my best friend, left us with courage in his heart, love and compassion for all, and a seeking spirit for the eternal future. He was ready for his rebirth. As it is with every human being, he is irreplaceable . . .
