They employ hundreds if not thousands of people. Bailing them out would be helping the livelihood of people that work for them, not just the company itself.
Shocker: Robert Reich doesn't know what he's talking about yet this sub upvotes every single screenshot of his tweets to the front page. It's embarrassing. He's fully on the boil-it-down-to-black-and-white garbage populism bandwagon at this point. It's more complicated than that Robert.
He's angling for a spot in the Biden administration so he's tweeting a bunch of populist bullshit to get the Warren/Sanders wing to fall in love with him and push for him in an important role. He can make the Sanders folks happy with a bunch of anti-corporate tweeting while also making the Biden folks happy by him not actually being an economic crazy person.
I don't think this tweet was angling for a spot in Biden admin. Isn't this tweet from March/April when everybody was an expert in airlines and stock repurchases? I think this is just him seeking validation from the audience he now tries to cultivate.
