The cry for help never ends

Corporations are people, people are left to die, so should corporations who didn't prepare.

Fuck them! Let them fail!

They should live within their means, pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Piggies at the trough.

Normally this is bad, but it IS United so...

Gonna be a no (bailout) from me.

I can't even get a small business loan bc they already out of money.. This is like hearing a very rich company cry when the small businesses are hurting but only thing getting attention is this.

Buh bye 🤣

Hey establishments go out of business everyday. Maybe it’s time for a smaller airline to take its place.

More more give me more $$$$
