No argument here.

Given airlines go bankrupt every decade like clockwork and need massive bailout why not just nationaize them

Let people work again. Problem solved.

No, no more bailout!

So they dumped 20,000 workers onto welfare to be supported by the very tax-payer that had just shelled out $Billions to keep QANTAS afloat? Time for Qantas to hand back the keys.

And don't forget they used 96% of that money to do stock buy backs

I continue to get the impression you are surprised. Did you really expect anything else from the neoliberal establishment?

Bailouts don't save jobs because labor and expenses are forecasted from revenue. An influx of money from the outside isn't likely to counter expense cutting because it isn't forecasted to be a recurring revenue line. Our leaders know that and give bailouts anyway.

@POTUS @JoeBiden

Have bailouts for major corporations take the form of stock purchases. Boeing wants a billion dollars from the government? Suddenly the American people are the majority owners of the company and set the rules, including getting bottom-rank workers on the board of directors.
