I know we’re past the “close to failing” part of the Dodd-Frank Act https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/dodd-frank_title_II but anybody else think this meets the provisions for the FDIC to step in and handle this?
A part of me is grateful that they’re taking precautions, but only if they actually are doing that and that someone isn’t gaming the system for profit. Weird that I’ve lived long enough to see this before https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_electricity_crisis
