Provocative, but I had a friend, when I grew up, my mother had been completely avoided from the hardships of the real world. She has great difficulty in adult life, frequently suffering from panic attacks, and when her husband divorced her (when it was a rare time, “another woman” chased after him), she regularly threatened to kill Helev in front of her children. My eldest son, my friend, worked hard to protect his two younger brothers from her mood. He saw his job as keeping her alive (starting at age 6!) so he didn’t get caught up in the orphanage. So my n=1 says this could happen.

A stock market crisis (unless the stock is purchased with many margin debt) does not cause a financial crisis. See the collapse of the giant dot com bubble. As much as Touse’s focus on the Treasury, he sees the wrong starting point. There could be a much higher crisis in multiple emerging markets…
