    In my lifetime, i’ve bailed out the housing market, the auto industry, the airline industry, and probably something else they hid from the media.

    I refuse to help bailout these crappy AI companies that just steal from everyone and want to take jobs away from hard working americans.

      don’t forget trillion dollar wall street bailout, or the multi trillion dollar covid bailout.

      or the ppp loans which went to republican allies who didnt need them, used them for anything but paycheck protections, and never paid them back, which is a bailout in everything but name.

      Unfortunately it’s not your choice to make. A guy who couldn’t manage to run a casino, literally an infinite money hack, is running the show. I wouldn’t put much faith in him if I were you.

        Oh its better than that.

        The casino was being run brilliantly.

        by his wife

        and in his petty, infinite jealousy, he kicked her out, and ran the casino… as you said, an infinite money printer, into the ground… because he couldnt stand his wife being successful.

    Stop bailing out corporations. “Free market “ means fail and imprisonment of everyone who is committing white collar crimes including politicians and billionaires

    Bailout for what even? There’s no plan for ever having profitability and the amount of jobs directly working on AI is miniscule compared to the amount of jobs displaced by AI.

    If a business fails it fails. Period. No government aid.

    If a business that fails is vital to the economy, it is still not bailed out. It is nationalized and turned into a government service. The people who drove it into failure get nothing (except possibly jail time if there was malfeasance).

    Later, if there is someone who shows evidence of being able to run the business successfully, perhaps hand it off as a crown corporation for a bit to that person.

    But at no point should failed businesses be given government money to keep them alive. That rewards massive failure only.

    What?! But it would be so unfair to change the rules of the game at this stage! After all: we ALL know they put way too much money in this. The bailout IS the main plan! Saying there won’t be one could trigger the collapse of… oh well, please: KEEP GOING!!!

      Who is “we”?

      It seems like this is the usual ultra privileged people who violently control society under a fundamentally evil system.

      That’s not me and I doubt it’s you.

        If a government ever needs to bail out a company, that company should be rolled into the government as a utility or service, and its CEO/board should be released with no compensation, and barred from holding similar positions for 10 years.

        The bank bailout, airline bailout, automotive bailout, mortgage bailout, etc., should have all been rolled into the federal government, or been completely shut down. If you run your business so shittily that you cannot function without a government bailout, then that business shouldn’t exist.

          You’re overcomplicating things. There’s no reason for a bailout in an ostensibly capitalist economy, period. I appreciate your comment but bailouts shouldn’t exist at all

            There are legitimate negative economic consequences to letting large enough businesses fail. Nationalizing them with no compensation to their executives is a better plan than golden parachutes or inaction, and it’s easier to do than fully-automated luxury gay space communism.

              Nope there aren’t :) Ford, Wall Street, and Perplexity should all fail because… they failed.

              That’s kind of how this whole thing works and the worst kind of PPP youre advocating for is what got us in this shithole in the first place

      the party is losing it’s grasp fast

      the GOP is dead, replaced by a cult. all those “moderate” republicans of old vote establishment dem or don’t vote at all the DSA has been making great strides taking dem seats covertly, along with open progressives taking seats openly. i could honestly see the democratic party of olde dying entirely next year, if there’s enough votes overall to force internal leadership changes and usurp the democratic pocketbook.

      this is of course mostly copium on my part, if the tides looks like it’ll turn the other way towards a nazi americs…i’m gtfo asap

          like i said, copium on my part. i’v already given up on the US, and am leaving for saner waters asap…

          saw ICE kindap someone off the street a couple months back and it really messed me up completely powerless to do anything while the mainstream and liberals were jerking each other off with these no kings rallys in the cities, the gestapo was raiding surrounding poor neighborhoods and while i briefly entertained the idea of trying to fix shit from within…why waste my time trying to fix something that doesn’t want to be fixed?

    I can feel myself being radicalized in real-time by the shamelessness with which they engineer the system to rob everyone not in their country club.

    And by the video I watched this morning about who Jay Gould was and who Andrew Carnegie REALLY was.
