That's my confession.

unless you are in senior management at AA, you are very much the "average" worker who will get screwed if the bailouts are not conditioned. I despise the ranks of senior management at all these companies (from banks to airlines to everything in between) that use bailout money to enrich themselves (stock buybacks) and refuse to use that money to pay employees (the "average worker"), contractors, service providers, etc.

AA is not going to use bailout money for a stock buyback. That’s something you do when you are flush with cash, not when you have a cash flow problem.

- Senior management at a large travel company, not AA.

I'm sorry- my DH works in aerospace and it's awful right now. I think people who are gleeful do not realize the destructive economic impact to our nation's economy if the aviation and aerospace industry was to collapse. I get why people dislike these industries and expect that on the other side, they will be better behaved, but letting them bankrupt-- that's a really bad idea.

What in any corporations history would make you think that?

no one is gleeful and the issue is that bailouts need to be directed to help the workers, not the executives. experience and history show that the workers have rarely been helped by bailouts but the executives get their golden parachutes.

and who was in favor of the bank bailouts in the 2008/9? the tea party and republicans were all vehemently against this and were advocating to let the banks fail and because that's what is supposed to happen in a free market/capitalist economy. and since it was done under Obama, he was labeled a socialist.

are these same people now for the current bailout or are they principled and opposing the bailout? complete bs. the point is if you want this to work, the bailouts have to go to the workers, but that's not what R's like.

The thing about the bank bailouts was the bonus were still paid bonuses. The firms were going under and no bonus were going to be paid because there was no money. The government stepped in and all the bonuses were paid. It was criminal.

This is such dangerous thinking. Even introverts need social interaction.

I get enough, thanks. Between DCUM, Facebook, emails from corporations, and seeing people walk outside, I get plenty.

Same.

I ate cookies for breakfast today because my wife was on a video conference call and I didn't want to walk behind her to the kitchen because that would have required changing out of my pajamas.

I hate all my Facebook friends. They are so much more self-righteous and attention-seeking than I ever imagined. It’s all cloaked in faux self-deprecation but that cloak has been ripped off during this time. I just can’t believe I’m going or have to find new friends after all this.
