These are the same companies who got massive tax payer funded subsidies: So much for The Free Market I guess.

Privatized profits and socialized losses are such bullshit.

They sure are, it's almost like the free market is a made up fantasy that does not exist today (if it ever existed at all).

Its free market when a corpo fucks you...

That's about it
