Don’t even talk about bailouts, it’s totally unacceptable this time. These companies ARE NOT essential, and are not too big to fail.

Their debts are by Venture Capitalist investors, and by billionaires from the dot com bom. They have the money to fail.

This time we let them fail.

I WANT TO SEE REPO MEN AND BANK OFFICIALS MARCHING INTO MANSIONS TO RECLAIM THE MONEY.

Let some of these assholes live in trailer parks.

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.
