It depends on how the bailouts are actually structured. Just handing out free cash is bullshit. But if the government gets a discounted ownership stake that they can then turn around and sell later for profit, I’m less opposed to it. That’s what Canada did with the auto industry during that 2008 crap.
Yeah exactly, sometimes you can turn a bad situation to good that way. I definitely would rather these proprietary things built from essentially pirating the entire internet belonged to the people, and seizing the weird shit they’ve built with that bubble would be just desserts for the venture capitalists who still hope to take away everyone’s jobs so they could rule us as kings.
Complicated, weird disaster of a sentence, sorry. Let me know if any of that tracks and I’ll go make coffee.
