What could possibly go wrong?
The US Federal Reserve (that regulates US banks) is about to reduce the capital adequacy requirement for banks (raised in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis).
Of course, nearly 20 years after the global financial crisis, regulators & bankers may say they've learned the lessons of 2008, but what they really mean is they've (wilfully) forgotten them.
Just one more act bringing a crisis nearer (as if attacking Iran wasn't;t enough)!
Oh, how can that be? The current set of stories about private equity and private banking restricting the amount people can withdraw plus what we can know about their leveraging investor money with commercial bank loans suggest they might be a wee bit over leveraged.
A long time ago was easy money for private equity and so on it isn’t anymore

@ChrisMayLA6 Nobody went to jail then. Nobody is going to jail now. And the usual suspects will make out like bandits. So, what was the problem, again?

@ChrisMayLA6 It's not only those kinds of things.
Reducing or removing environmental protections are a Big Other.
The USA is going backwards in time and in short order.

And on mercury, CO2, lead... USians are right screwed.
And lots of other things. The misinformation on vaccinations will kill and maim many USians in the coming years. Health and safety, medical coverage, unions, food stamps - nearly any advance in USian society since WWII is being rolled back - especially 80% taxes on the filthy rich to near zero, while increasing the tax burden on the poor to pay for the USA's military-based economy.
I'm much closer to it than you are, and I'm watching an implosion into autocracy I think.Yes, even from this distance it looks like that...

Oh, they've learned their lesson.Crashing the economy to make money worth less causes stock prices to go UP.
Legal restrictions on those people don't exist because they don't know what they are doing. They exist because they know exactly what they are doing.

Ha ha, yes fair enough - that lesson certainly has been learnt (but they may known that before 2008)

Name one #bankster who went to jail after 2008.
Name one #bankster CEO who lost his job without a golden parachute.#Democrats protected them. So did #Republicans.
And now seeds are being sown to do a repeat of #1987 and of #2008

@ChrisMayLA6
Maybe. It seems to me that before, the goal was to make the stock prices go up, and crashing the economy was just a side effect. But after 2008, the goal has been to intentionally crash the economy to make stock prices go up.But maybe that's just me.

The Great Depression was a severe global economic downturn from 1929 to 1939.
It looks like some people are trying to do a reboot to 2029-2039. -

Well, there's a analytical approach that would label such practice(s) observed the latter: 'disaster capitalism' so quite possibly the case

Actually they didn't protect them.

@ChrisMayLA6 a lot of profit to be made in a crisis. So said rees mogg, or his father. That's their objective. Rinse and repeat
