Bolar/The Federalist are 'jumping the slingshot' a bit... Because banks live in fear of patrons making a run on them, with massive withdrawals. All it takes is a dressed-up rumor and you'll have Dems withdrawing their money as well. In cash.
There is a 'panic clock' somewhere, in one the agencies, operating on the principle of the 'nuclear-war clock'. The five levels of financial stability. Worldwide, I might add. Remember when the original 'Occupy' tried to get everyone in the world to withdraw their money from banks for one day? The 'panic clock' warned that a temporary withdrawal will assuredly result in a permanent withdrawal via human-nature. People don't want to be separated from their cash in a situation like Bolar is illustrating. Politics can turn on a dime.
