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.
