If only this type of mentality is taken when financial institutions bring a country (and world) to a depression

Yes, their screw up was major. But to get fired, I don't think so. Maybe X game suspension, plus being downgraded for a year or so. Comparing sports officials and hamburger flippers is apples to oranges.
