A bona fide financial crisis has not broken out since the US housing meltdown of 2007.
Even the Covid pandemic and subsequent upsurge in inflation didn’t lead to financial upheaval.
The jitters produced by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023 were soon forgotten.

including one reaffirmed by the Supreme Court itself in 2023,
to create a second majority- or plurality-Black congressional district.
