Just a quick note: On a day when sweeping (but largely toothless) Wall Street reform passed the Senate, BP claimed victory by finally capping an undersea well that's spilled somewhere around 130-million gallons of oil into the ocean and will eventually cost the company billions, and Goldman Sachs settled its fraud case with the SEC to the tune of 550-million dollars and still saw an upswing in its stock prices, what's the ultimate lesson?
These monolithic entities aren't simply too big to fail.
They're too big to even effectively punish.
