I bet they are not going to get together immediately and form a corporation so that they can get a humongous, sweet bailout, right? I mean, its so easy and fast. You just hold out your hands and they drop money from a helicopter for you.
No, they are probably not going to take advantage of what this county has to offer, so no sympathy for them. After all, there are more important things than living. We know how the system works best and for whom.
