Episode notes

Arthur Hayes predicted that the mid-size and small banks were in real trouble in the US. He said like it could take a year or two and the Fed would have to basically step in and do something absolutely massive. A longer essay coming soon on my take, this JP Morgan first Republic deal means the US regulators decided to nationalize the banking system. The prodigal children's equity holders will get a zero first, but the deposers will find a new home and a safe too big to fail bank.
