    Wait…too big to fail meant that they’re supposed to be important to the CITIZENS??? Fuck that! All these banks and mortgage lenders and automotive industry leaders have all been bailed out as too big to fail.

    I never took that to mean that they provide value. I just took it to mean “fuck you peasants, we’re big business, and therefore fuck you! Money please! Money me now!”

    If I’d have known they meant it was for OUR benefit, I’d have called bullshit 20 years ago.
