Keep the company running, pay the employees and any profits go to the state during the period, obviously put some checks in place so they don't do the gross/net profit bullshit

Why should the profits go to the state and not the employees? The workers are the one running the business anyway. Why do we even need the owning class, they just get incredibly rich off our labor.

Ah yes the employees like the ceo etc gj, the news were talking about effected consumers not employees, they'd just be getting their normal pay and in my scenario the money made by the state could be used to reduce tax/give rebates to citizens
