No one is forcing this. If you want a handout, we own part of you. That’s basic business.

It’s the company’s choice to do this? Why is this bad? Just tell the Gov’t “no” if not interested.
When private companies can raise capital by taxing citizens... you say "why is this bad?". Holy f*ck.

Well yes, but you basically have a cult over on the poliboard for Trump. I don't even care if you like the dude, but to constantly try to justify every single stupid thing he says is annoying as hell.

The saying there are no atheists in foxholes and there are libertarians in times of disasters is somewhat true.

Huh? I said no one is forcing this and you ask me where is says it is forced?

That’s my point and why I don’t understand why people are upset about this. I stated that this would be a choice of each company to either decide to take assistance and give up a portion of the company or not take assistance. Why is this a bad option?

Company doesn’t want it, say no.

I don’t think Trump will come anywhere near that. He’s not a conservative but he’s not a socialist.

This wouldn’t be the first time he floated something out there just to get the wheels turning and people talking about something that would never happen.

Also it’s a good way to get the left talking about doing the opposite of what he proposes.




4D chess, cucks!!

Friend,

If this is true that would make Trump the most socialist President in our history.

Yours,

Sorry I misunderstood the first part

Because now you have a government with a vested interest in some companies and not others. How can you not see that as problematic? Like I said before there was a bunch of pee wee companies just hanging on pumping wells that weren’t even economic just so that they could service their debt.

I posted a thread critiquing Trump’s response thus far and was met with hundreds of downvoted and plenty of “cuck” and vote for Joe comments. It’s odd.
