Socrates Johnson Intervention Needed
There definitely was-- in May 2020. It was to add money market deposit accounts
to M1 instead of having them only show up in M2 (or that's what it looks like to me reading the notes).

M2 (which always included those accounts) shows a jump from $15.4tr to $21.8tr in the same timeframe. So it's possible the jump is way smaller-- albeit still very significant. The "on-trend" number looks like it would be about $16-17tr, which means we have a lot of cash ($4.8-5.8tr) to burn through to return to trend. IDK how long that might take or what the near-term impact would be.
