Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe leaving money in a sector of the economy that's imploding left and right with an underfunded FDIC is the best way to go. Oh, and if they indeed fund the FDIC fully to the tune of 250K per account, that money will be toilet paper anyway because we'll just monetize the obligations.

It's actually 100k, but I took your post at less than half of it's face value anyway, so it all evens out
