Yeah, there's a good reason they didn't do it: their constituents (by which I mean the people who paid to put them in office, not the people who voted for them) are in a poor position to capture a per-person bailout but are in an excellent position to capture a bailout of "the market."

POSIWID.

Had to look that up - "The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID)".

Very interesting. It feels similar to the concept of Dharma - an analogy would be: "the purpose of your life is what you do while you live".

Thanks! That was my learning nugget for the day.

I`d always heard the phrase "it`s running as intended" when explaining the intricacies of a dumpster fire. POSIWID works even better!
