    dont worry govt bailouts with public money will come in. Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor.

          I’m not agreeing with it but if it were socialism we would at least have public ownership of the bailed out company. Any bailout would just be corporate welfare with little return

            The bailout should transfer ownership to the public. Employees and (sane) products/services can stay, the idiots who tanked the company can shuffle off.

          There’s a ton of precedent. Welfare for the rich is justified all the time while those who truly need it are less and less
