8. Are they entitled...

Are they entitled to socialism and welfare because of their own failures to fortify their companies in the event of an emergency like this?

They appear to be overly vulnerable because of the way they have used their historically unprecedented profits. Perhaps they are counting on us, the taxpayers, to solve their problems in the event of a disaster and that encourages reckless fiscal behaviors?

Should we be enabling that? I realize that profit is the sole motivation and is required by law according to the corporate charter, but that does not give an excuse for poor management and incessant addiction to greed. If they have not girded their loins, it should not fall upon us, necessarily, to bail them out as a matter of course.

We are the consumers in the circle: Producer/provider/consumer. The question is, what is our collective place in this relationship? If we cannot generally consume even our necessities, what good will bailout after bailout, and on and no, do?

This is a broken system that is rearing its ugly head and needing some fixing, badly. The virus is just making that shockingly clear to us, the citizens/consumers.
