    Explain to me why we should spent taxpayer money to bailout companies (airlines) who spent their cash buying their own stock so the CEO gets optionality, instead of having a crisis buffer. We should bail out individuals based on needs, not corporations. #Moralhazard

        3) Airlines/Boeing are lobbying for bailouts, which they will get. How about the small corner restaurant? The independent tour guide? The personal trainer? The prostitute? The barber? The hotdog vendor living from tourists near the Met Museum? Last time (2008) they were ignored.

        4) The shareholder should not never end up being rewarded for lack of hedging/insurance. He/she should go first.https://twitter.com/nikola_sock/status/1241704778671013888?s=20 …

        I don't think that prof Taleb is against helping Boeing or airlines, but least they could do is wipe out common share. Next time, shareholders will ask for more accountability from management.

        6) Saying "it is nobody's fault" hence let's help corps is vicious: risk management=cash to face eventualities WITHOUT knowing what they WILL BE: we have 2 kidneys SO we don't have to predict how they one will be harmed.

        But before we bail out anyone, we should increase aid to Israel.
