Seems weird that in America people are so opposed to a socialism (which helps the individuals when a badly managed company screws up and dies, ensuring that nobody is ever "truly fucked"); but a government which gives money to corrupt managers to keep the corporation alive is fine (because "think of the individuals!")...
If you want corporations to be run on a survival-of-the-fittest basis (capitalism wants that, right?), surely letting the company die and having the government step in to avoid undue suffering for employees is the right thing to do?
(Though in this specific case, one could argue that the punishment of company death is disproportionate given the crime of allowing one security breach; or would capitalism say that that's an acceptable and necessary consequence to set an example for other companies in the same position?)
