Are you sure?

To me is looks like this:

Loosening the regulations on US mortgages was a strong contributing factor to a global financial crisis.

Since then, tightening regulations on global banking has led to banks being much less likely to fail and trigger another crisis.

you are in for a big surprise the next time a crisis hits the market. And even if your statement were true, only a few banks crashing would lead to a catastrophic domino effect, because everything is very largely inter-connected. What we have done since 2008 is largely insufficient to consider the current financial system as robust.
