I love your honesty about the effect of a run on the banks. This effects of spiralling deflation are mind boggling and foreign territory for all of us. When money and opportunity decrease--something taken away from us--we get angry and want to blame someone or something. Hence, mass mindless shootings (Orlando, Paris, etc) and race riots on the increase. Human beings are not rational in attacking their problems, but they must attack something.
An angry dog will bite his master if his master puts his hand in the way.
