You think that bailing all these companies out has no effect on how companies run their business going forward? And you claim I have an “innocent view of the world”...

You are speaking about an industry where the margins are so thin that small fluctuations in petrol price or minor geopolitical events are enough to make a dozen companies brankrupt every 2 month.

Also yes, hoping that the coronavirus make them suddenly resilient, it's pretty innocent :)

I wasn't talking about a specific industry. And even if I was, a dozen passenger airlines go broke every two months? I'd like to request a citation on that one.

And I wrote more prudent, not “suddenly resilient”. Why don't you argue against what I actually wrote, rather then a straw man you made up?
