But it isn’t really capitalism.

If governments decide to bail out companies when they’re suffering can we really say it’s a free market?

Imagine thinking that making our system a purer form of capitalism is in your best interest. You flipped through some Ayn Rand one time in a bookstore and now you’re an ideologue huh.

Yes but 100% capitalism would be horrible. If you think it’s bad now, yikes.

100% of any form of governing ideology would have a finite lifespan, I think the goal of the current system is to try and extend that lifespan.

This is just my uninformed opinion of course.

Im not saying it’s right or wrong, but all these mega corporations getting billion dollar bail outs whereas if I go bankrupt I end up on the streets.

some of the bailouts are dumb there are companies in the marijuana industry that have needed a bailout i think "the green organic dutchman" got multiple bail outs from the govt
like if they cant make money selling legal weed they should be selling legal weed let them fold up and close instead of pumping them with money to put out shit product and probably bleed out more money
the companies making the profits are the good ones that will stick around why give money to shit companies that have no idea wtf they are doing lol i used to see bail outs and be like g"ood we need that company" but we dont need TGOD and their shit weed

Bailouts are pretty counter to capitalism.

Bailouts are not capitalist or socialist, they’re something else. Usually bullshit cronyism and yes they favour the rich.

If you’re talking about the airline industry bailout going on in Canada, that’s something else entirely. It’s surely greasy as hell under the hood, but a giant country without functioning airlines because of a pandemic is not going to recover as fast as a functioning one. US style wallstreet bailouts are not the same as what’s going on with Air Canada.

Maybe I don’t understand bailouts enough, specifically this airline one, but there should be strict guidelines on how that money needs to be spent.
Im tired of companies receiving bailouts and then letting go of their work force or buying back stocks

I’d hate to live in Ontario, Plese is being run like a dictatorship
