> Until all the banks go under

If 2008 taught us anything it is the fact that big banks don't "go under" because they are considered "too big to fail" and as such will not be allowed to fail.

The German term for this is "systemrelevant", (systemically important) which imho fits way better than "too big to fail" because it's way blunter.
