Too big to fail = too big to exist

If corporations take bailout money, there must be certain terms attached or the money will be recouped by taxes or other fees. Things like not firing more than a certain percentage of their employees over a set period of time, not requiring children under the age of 6 to wear masks (as per WHO "SCIENCE" TM), giving medical exemptions to passengers who cannot wear masks (yet earlier this year people were permitted service animals and airlines said they couldn't do anything because of ADA...), stock options revert into our Social Security program if terms not met, and on and on.

Bailouts are all carrot, no stick. And that is only the second major problem with bailouts.

C19 has proven that corporations spending scads on flights is not necessary if we video conference. I prefer actual meetings though.

Ban foreign investment in US airlines and let them fail. Let somebody buy up the jets for penny's on the dollar and form some new airlines that aren't garbage.

Sell them to Elon even. I am down for AirplaneX flying some Tesla Jets.

I've thought about airlines being bailed and concluded that they're too vital as a strategic resource to fail. If war ever breaks out, I'd guarantee you those facilities would be used to manufacture planes and weaponry.

Nice try, shill. This has been a talking point for Sanders and most other dems for the past year now.

They have been taught to think in false dichotomies. Every issue in America is framed by extreme positions.

Tax does not need to be redistributed. It should never have been taken in the first place.

People need to save up and have an emergency fund. It's frustrating to pay tax for leeches who cant handle money while i'm also saving up to keep myself afloat in emergencies.
