    Don’t worry, it won’t be “entertained”, it will simply be done

    And then the bailout money won’t go to saving these shiny turd companies, it’ll all go to the CEOs and founders and that’s about it

      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

    I can feel myself being radicalized in real-time by the shamelessness with which they game the system.

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

    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.

      Came here to said the same thing. I get what she’s going for but no, there shouldn’t be a bailout at all.

        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, period.

            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

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    There was at least a coherent rationale for the GFC bank bailouts - if you let parts of the finance system collapse a) real people lose lots of savings, and b) it might destabilise the whole system, and cause a domino effect (not saying I agree with it)

    That rationale doesn’t apply for AI (though there will certainly be investment banks that collapse, I guess)

    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!!!
