Isn’t it interesting, though, that “systemic risk” only seems to apply to banks?
You never heard these officials say that baby formula shortages pose systemic risk. Or that inflation itself is a systemic risk. Or that dwindling US oil production is a system risk.
Yet whenever the banks and their somnambulant regulators fail, they call it “systemic risk” and pull out all the stops to save them.
Energy companies, on the other hand, which produce the very thing that all economic activity requires, are tossed out in the cold and demonized at every available opportunity by the President of the United States. It’s bizarre logic.

In the meantime, a white paper I'm reading.
"This study validates...that the implementation of (China's) Five Year Plan was followed by a significant production expansion in the encouraged sectors of China. This expansion crowds out production in the same sectors in the US, leading to significant drops in both employment and investments and a notable increase in plant closures."
But it's TRUMP that started the trade war, eh?
