That’s how you compete in the world. Imagine for a second if the US didn’t bail out the automotive companies, I think Ford would have survived, but that’s about it, no more American competition for them. If they also failed, then we might not have any US car companies, how bad would that have been for our society?
Or the banks, could you imagine how screwed we would be if the whole baking system collapsed? Even the small banks were in trouble, it’s not a solution to just split them all up.
This is why I don’t really ‘get’ the perspective that a lot of Lemmings seem to have. Sure, it’d be nice to live in an ideal society of some sort, but that’s not really possible in a world where money is everything.

Then get rid of money as well.
Great idea genius, next you’ll tell me that the solution to get rid of human greed would be to get rid of humans!
So everything is free and we just trust people will put in their fair share?
Along those lines yeah
Yeah, I think we both know that will never work.
I do think it will work under the right circumstances
And what are those right circumstances? What would stop me playing video games and relaxing all day?
