Obviously, you can't let them all fail, but if you don't let significant banks go under, how do you address the systematic moral hazard that encourages this behavior? It's a big problem, that, if anything, is worse now than it was in 2008.

Split the banks up. One bank that is too large to fail can become 5 banks that individually can fail.
Unfortunately we've gone the other way.
