Not agreeing nor disagreeing. Should Hyatt get money? How about Royal Caribbean? How about MGM? How about the company you work for? How about shuttered random small business in NYC? How about my son the bug expert in Florida? How about you? In general I totally agree with you that the government should not prop up failing businesses, but even I see how this is an acceptable exception. |
