This feels like a setup to the biggest rug-pull in history. The whole thing is going to shit and the taxpayers will be holding the bags.

I think it makes sense. The bill will be paid off from taxes, so it makes sense that the bailout comes with company stock transfer to workers.
It’s fair for many reasons. One of them is that billionaires and corporations don’t pay taxes.
What about, instead of 50%, make the bailed out company be 100% owned by the people - not the government, the people.

By the time the public own it, it will be a liability, not an asset. I’ve seen my government purchase a telco’s entire infrastructure only to immediately write it off.
Just set it on fire already.

Oh yeah, what I said was how a fair arrangement should look like. You can also call that an utopia. It won’t happen.
Does this mean we’ll all be bag holders when the AI bubble bursts?

You know they will agree and give everyone stakes exactly when bubble is about to pop

Public stake isn’t for profits (especially not short term capital gains), it’s about concentration & not getting controlled.

Controlling something worthless is pointless anyway.
And giving it away to everyone will score political points.
