But of course they will bail them out... there is a 0% chance they won't be bailed out

In some countries, people make a big enough stink to actually send people to jail rather than write them a cheque.

It can happen.

It could be! You were once the great hope for democracy and working people everywhere, until you were captured and contained by the aristocracy. You could be that hope again.

hmmm that was mostly the successful years of the PR campaign from Murica...

Yeah it was never really real, except as a dream. But real people did actually come the murica to try to dream it together. It's just the money men got there first.

If they don't bail them out then think of all the jobs that will be lost when AI comes to fruition -- I mean the jobs that will be lost if they don't get their government money.
