but would every bank that has exposure be in a similar situation?

I'm not sure they thought that far. They really were holding a lot in terms of deposits that were just sitting there. The VC's were being a lot more picky and then there were the SPACs that had yet to find something to invest the money that was reserved to them.
Among other things. But, overall the bank was in OK shape. Then Thiel and others get nervous, withdraw and everybody who is anybody follows suit

IIRC, the reason for the economy hitting the shitter in the 60s then staying there for the 70s was LBJ blowing a ton of money on the Great Society while fighting Vietnam, which was distorting the prices of some commodities such as copper as a result. Nixon attempting to fix the mess made it worse because his attempts at price fixing just caused shortages.
The left appears to be trying to recreate their “glory days”, which were when the country was in horrible fricking shape, either during the Depression or during the Watergate period when they took down a popularly elected president they hated.

We're going to have to accept a decreasing quality of life over a period of time. The best plan would be for this to happen very slowly.
The problem is this would be exacerbated everywhere else in the world b/c they rely so much on our production and buying and sustaining our QOL.
For the US, decreasing energy costs is our only trigger we have left.

Why our strategy post-2008 didn't actually fix anything
All of this is 100% correct. We need to be managing this process on the way down. This can end either like the Roman Empire or the British Empire. I know which way I'd like to see it go.

Not to derail the thread, it's the unfortunate answer to OP's title question.

This will fix everything within 48hrs.
1. Joe Biden, resign
2. Kamala Harris, resign
3. Biden's entire cabinet, resign

Yes, because this time, there will also be massive inflation and food shortages.
The war in Ukraine has disrupted both the global grain export market as well as the global market for fertilizer. This will cause the third world’s crop yields to be cut by more than 1/3. As such, the third world will starve and be forced to import food from the developed world. This situation will inevitably drive up prices in the U.S. The U.S. won’t starve due to our wealth, but shortages of staples and products will be commonplace.
I'm not quite as bearish, but this analysis is really solid. I think we only disagree on the matter of degree.

The difference is if the US was able to end it like the British Empire, the rest of the world would still feel like it was the end of the Roman Empire

They are halting trading on some of these due to "volatility". I wonder how long that can continue.

Not many. I just hope I can gtfo of DFW before the crap really hits the fan.
I need ~10 productive acres and I can raise everything I need to eat. That, and hunting and fishing will keep me well fed.

There are two basic models re an Economy...Private, where productive and innovative individual create and offer basic goods and services for what other individuals are willing and able to pay (retaining and allocating their profits according to their choice)....or...creating a Government Institution, I.e. Congress/The Fed, which 'Regulates' the Private Economy and manages the creation of the Money which is the basis for economic trade. We have been balancing between those two models.
Government/The Fed has long been "picking winners and losers" (Socialism) under the radar of an open Process via 'Omnibus Bills' wherein all manner of desired 'winners' are allocated massive, fiat money without the American People knowing of those under the table expenditures. The OP's description elucidates the problem, and ask for "tools" by which the problem of Inflation/picking of winners and losers can be fixed. Of course there a ways to address this problem, but, they will NOT be employed because at the core, the problem is essentially one of Marxist/Socialist ideology vs the Capitalist/Constitutional version. The Marxist (Fascist, such being State control of all things) Dems know that in order to "fundamentally change" the Constitutional version of an Economy/Culture, the existing model must be destroyed.
Bottom line: the Dems want it to collapse per the "Cloward-Piven strategy" of "engineered collapse", and via the relative stupid and naive "dupes and useful idiots" who are half the populous and have bought into the 'equity' version of a managed economy. And with the support of the MSM, watch the Republicans who understand the dynamic, vote to continue the march toward "engineered collapse" and "fundamental change". They can not vote against "spreading the wealth around", lest they be smeared as meanie Trumpists by the MSM.
Good luck or God speed.

Don't forget to thank Turtle for the cherry on top with the omnibus bill...basically build back better bill.

This would be like the fall of Rome. The worldwide rebuild would be in terms of centuries, not months.
Imagine the 1700s, but with basic electronics (non-internet, non-GPS capable) and modern weapons. That's what a collapse of America would look like worldwide.

Might not be a bad thing.
Get rid of dead weight and the world rebuilds quickly, and for the better.
