Hacker News isn’t the place to get into polemics so I’ll drop the subject. All I’ll say is I hate the optics of TBTF and companies like VW, Airbus, and the like getting a free ride because they are “Western”.

The fundamental human right is not freedom, self-determination, or happiness, it’s the right to fairness and the current world order, imho, is unfair. It will continue to be unfair until the rules are applied equally regardless of which cohort loses jobs or which fat cat banker dies in a ditch.
