You know, "too big to fail" is bullshit in my book. Capitalism doesn't work without two things: Fear and Greed. Fear of bankruptcy, the Greed to grow.

Capitalism is basically a game of musical chairs...except when the music stops, someone's left with nothing instead of just being forced to stand. If people aren't comfortable with the idea, they should look for something different.
