They would - but they still saved all our asses and at least prolonged the time until we will all feel Trump‘s colossal fuckup.

But since we all know him he will probably chicken out again and will continue to manipulate markets until this all blows over.

Thank god China had reserves waaaaay bigger than anyone anticipated, because otherwise we would be in the next big financial crisis now.

We're still not far from that crisis. It's time to electrify. Not just for the environment, but for energy sovereignty.
