Why did companies get bailouts during the 2008 global financial crash?

Didn’t some of these companies cause the crash? Or at least help it. Feels kind of unfair that they get off scot-free.

What would have happened if the government didn’t bail them out? Would we ever recover?

The modern economic system is build like a house of cards. These companies were cards on the very bottom of the house. Do you wanna risk pulling them out? Well, for some we did. And it didn’t look good for our house afterwards, so we let the others stay put, even if it seems like a bad idea on first glance.
