They're very much not. They have high valuations, but very few employees. Very different to the banks (where the public would lose money) and the car firms (who employed large numbers of workers)

    Pensions and other investments, yes.

    Not current accounts which was what was at risk in 2008. When the bank goes bust you don't just lose money. You become unable to do anything financial, like get paid.
