    Wall St and the big corporations once again play the American consumer for a sucker.

    PT was right.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    It's not meant to imply anything from my perspective. It's to just outright damn SAY that the government is a stakeholder and gets its statutorily required cut of the profits.

    Damn right. Someone on Wall Street in a big corporation created this coronavirus in a test tube and unleashed it on America so that they could get this bailout.

    It doesn't matter what the catalyst is Go. It's about financialization. There's no reason companies this size can't survive 6-9 months. Again we still don't know the details but if they get this money and lay off a single person then shame on us.

    They're not complicit. They were helpful. I mean, if you guys thought it was better to let large swaths of the economy collapse because of a pandemic...

    No it doesn't because these companies have structured their balance sheets in a way that they could not handle any unforeseen circumstances. They have done so because they know this backstop would be there for them and they'll do it again in the future.
