Janet Yellen admitted to Congress that SHE and other government officials determine which banks are systemic, and which are not. Below are the entities that paid her over $7MM in “speaking fees” before her time at Treasury. Banana Republic stuff. Originally tweeted from @EnergyCynic on Twitter

To be fair, isn’t that the actual law? Last sentence of below: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act was passed in 1991, giving the FDIC the responsibility to rescue an insolvent bank by the least costly method. The Act had the implicit goal of eliminating the widespread belief among depositors that a loss of depositors and bondholders will be prevented for large banks. However, the Act included an exception in cases of systemic risk, subject to the approval of two-thirds of the FDIC Board of Directors, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and the Treasury Secretary.[26]

Any monetary system that relies on human judgement and decisions, that are constantly changing with different people being involved, situations, and outside influences will always be doomed to fail.
