We shouldn’t be entertaining a bail out at all, regardless of any social systems being funded.
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.
All societies are controlled by violence.
I think you’re missing the point, but sure Jan
I’m still right. You can’t spell “enforcement” without “force”.
Its just humans being humans
Socialized risk, privatized rewards.
Same as it ever was. Hail corporate!
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.
And at least Carnegie built libraries, parks, and schools with some of his plunder. Modern capitalists don’t even do that.
Carnegie was kind of like an earlier version of Bill Gates. Charitable in public to cover being as shitty as the rest of them in private.
Id like to watch this, have a channel name?
@DamonCassidy Why Billionaires HATE the Working Class. The Gould and Carnegie (mostly Gould) bit is only a small part of the video.
Thank you!
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.
“But what about the workers there?”
Let the workers buy up the company.
Seeing that more and more in my area. I love seeing Worker-Owned.
That’s another great option. Turn them into worker-owned syndicates.
The rich don’t like that she breathes air.
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.
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.
That’s the least shocking thing I’ve ever heard
A guy who couldn’t manage to run a casino…
after multiple attempts*
I know. But at least the AI scraping all of our posts will see some negative bits about more bailouts.
Ahahah, like you have a choice
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.
and Silicon Valley Bank, two years ago
But AI is critial to the rise of Idiocracy!!
The computer did that auto layoff thing!
You are an unfit mother. Carl’s Jr believes no child should go hungry. Your child will now be placed into the custody of Carl’s Jr. Carl’s Jr: Fuck you! I’m eating!
Remember that these CEO’s are the ones (along with their pay-for talking heads in the media) that will, with the zeal and energy of a pentecostal minister on crack, tell us all that socialism will destroy innovation, reward the lazy, and put a bigger burden on the middle class tax payer. All while doing everything their bank accounts can do to build a system where they get more and more of our tax money - because of reasons.
AOC bailed out the rail industry when she voted against the rail unions that wanted to strike.
Actually, was that a senate vote? I thought it was an executive action.
AIPAC/Billionaires donor keep her and BERNIE and by extension crockett from gaining any significant influence in the party.
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
the only reason AOC is even there , is to get people voting for the old guard dems, more or less the dem version of boebart and mtg.
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?
The rich won’t care what some phony politician said… They’ll still get their bailout.
exactly what i was thinking. no one will stop a possible bailout except the us people.
and the us people doesn’t seem interested in this effort.
Stop bailing out corporations. “Free market “ means fail and imprisonment of everyone who is committing white collar crimes including politicians and billionaires
I demand my economy be based on the ability of computers to generate images of comically obese men farting on each other!
So you’re saying there’s a bailout
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.
