Sure. Let's put hundreds of thousands of people out of work to own the cons.

It's not the rank and file workers' fault any more than it's the bureaucracy's fault when elected officials are morons. But having said that, I fully understand not wanting to bail out corporations whose owners (shareholders) took the money and ran and now want a bailout because they didn't plan ahead.

"Privatize the profits, socialize the losses" has to stop being a business model. I'm all for coming up with ways to do so while minimizing harm to the average worker, but not sure there's a magic bullet out there to do that.

Ok by me. They can borrow money like any other person or company. It's not like they don't have value they can capitalize on. They'd just rather get money handed to them for nothing.

No magic bullet but it's #1 on my list when I evaluate a Presidential candidate.

He actually said, it's not the federal government's job to be buying up a lot of this equipment and making sure it gets distributed.

That's EXACTLY the federal government's ****ing job.

We don't have a Government anymore because people that hate Government have been essentially running it since 1980. I pray that changes soon.

I'm fine with that. Ridiculous, oversimplifying memes like ticap's don't help. But then again, I guess he'd rather a domestic economy ticket cost the inflation-adjusted equivalent of $1500-2000, like the "good old" days when only the rich people he hates so much got to fly.

Well, it's another ****ed up day on a ****ed up planet. I'm just praying someday we get back to normal. This is going to take a long ****ing time.

Honestly, I don't think most of Warren's plan is out of line. These corps don't get to come begging after ****ing us all over without any pain themselves.

Nope. Am I gonna be bailed out if I lose my job, burn through savings and can’t pay mortgage? I’m sorry for the employees but companies can’t be run like this anymore

We're talking about helping the people who work for those companies. The company can go get loans (at no or low-interest) to bail them out. Or the industry can pull itself up by those famous bootstraps. Maybe instead of lattes, avocado toast, stock buybacks and executive bonuses the airlines should have been saving for a rainy day.

We've tried trickle down for 40 years and it has been a failure. Let's try trickle up for a change.

My wife was just told her employer shuts down tomorrow. Possibly mid-May reopening at the earliest, potentially June. My company has been mum, but if our clients aren't working, no one can cut our company checks for our work.

Judging by the times I've stopped at the Oasis stops in Illinois in the last fourteen years, this isn't a new trend. :p

I have never seen TP in a stall in a Jersey Turnpike rest stop in 30 years.
