Let me get this straight…

1. Central banks are basically backstopping any entity that may cause systemic risk. But if you’re not big enough to cause systemic risk, you’re SOL.

2. Big banks who have ample access to capital due to their position are now stepping in to prop up the smaller banks.

3. The FED wants to cause unemployment, but they’re unwilling to have those unemployment come from large entities that are actually mismanaging their risk.

My question is, where is this unemployment going to come from?

It feels like in the end, small to medium businesses will continue to suffer as the FED continues to raise rates. But when they go down, no one will come to see he rescue because they’re not big enough to cause systemic risk.

Isn’t this the same as what happened in 2008? Too big to fail vs everyone else.

The Fed doesn't want unemployment. If the fed can tamp down inflation without unemployment blowing up, they win. If unemployment blows up and inflation is still running rampant, they are in deep trouble and they know this. Everyone pricing in a Fed pivot is wrong as well. The Fed will not pivot unless unemployment does blow up to 8-10%.

Employment is liberating as some famous person has it, but really, we don’t need to ruin people’s lives to blowout.

Betting and gambling is much less harmful that way.

Incoherent babbling. ☝️

Totally, and completely not connected with todays derailing neither.

Don’t listen to me, verify massacre gain of function.

Arizona train with dangerous chemical cargo again derailed.

Not at all connected and completely deranged.

Guilty as charged.

More incoherent babbling.

Also there were no hazardous materials on that train. The initial reports were incorrect. It was carrying corn syrup.

Let’s thank god for that, as a new Ohio would be embarrassing.

Yet derailed in a noticeable random pattern of head on collisions, derailments and crashes to be coincidental.

Even more incoherent conspiracies.

That’s a fair point.

Achieving lower inflation without blowing up the economy is the soft landing everyone is hoping for.

It’s a mighty fine line they’re walking here.
