All that rationalization and apologism fails when you consider this simple fact: there has been no one convicted of criminal wrongdoing in the US for bringing about the Great Recession. Much to the contrary, the persons in charge, the persons responsible for great hardship caused to billions of people worldwide for the past decade, they got big fat bonuses that not you or I could ever dream of making, perhaps not even in a lifetime of work. Note I'm not talking about banks as institution, I'm talking about personal responsibility and accountability. That alone shows how much of a farce everything is, how the super-rich and powerful simply play by a different set of rules.
Yeah sure, the government had to step in to prevent an even bigger catastrophe. But if indeed it were the case that the people responsible were even for a moment under any threat of actual punishment for their crimes, it would not have all been swept under the rug, and the people in charge simply finding employment elsewhere.
