I really hope we aren't going to give any help to cruise ship lines

For decades they have registered their ships in foreign countries to avoid U.S. taxes and regulations, if they want some kind of bailout they can go to the countries where the ships are registered and beg them for money.

1. Correct! Look to your flagged country for bailouts. Thanks in advance. nt

2. I agree.

The cruise lines that registered in other countries can ask those countries for their bailouts.

4. Why does anyone expect corporations to put patriotism over profits?

Corporate executives are much more scared of the stockholders (who are the owners) than any one else.

7. The cruise ship lines business as we know it is finished.

Who is going to be dumb enough to get on a cruise ship ever again.

8. I made that exact point today at work

And someone else said, it’s just a loan that they have to pay back. Is that completely true or is there more to it?

9. How about all the U.S. companies that don't pay taxes?

Amazon, Delta, General Motors, Netflix, JetBlue, just to name a few. How many of them are getting money? All of them, I bet.
