Banks are failing because of three main problems. First, and most dominant is investing in bonds that are losing value as interest rates rise. This problem will get worse as the Fed raises rates further to combat inflation. Second, depositors have unwisely placed more than $250,000 in a bank. This led to pulling cash out of banks and causing a run. Third, an unprepared Fed never saw the threat of the first two problems. I'm afraid woke diversity had little if anything to do with banks failing.
That said, it is time we look back and see how inflation was partially tamed in the past. Reagan used relaxed regulation and lower taxes on corporations to increase supply which drove down prices. The Fed needs to realize that other means are required to cure inflation before they ruin the economy.
