That's a problem with the social safety net, not a problem with companies failing.

A lot of companies are going to fail even without someone actively trying to drive them out of business.

Some industries just have collapses in demand and no longer do something that anyone wants. Some companies are just mismanaged.

We need to provide support for the employees who are victims of companies collapsing, not try to prevent any company from ever collapsing.

Yup, but that’s achieved via taxation, currently one of the costs that are being trimmed in the 19M/y example above... It’s a case of having your cake and eating it too

Completely agree with this.
