'The public, through its political leaders, has unprecedented leverage over corporate America in this crisis. Let’s use it,' writes columnist hiltzikm.

Past bear markets bequeathed us a host of investment maxims .

Let’s be clear what we’re talking about. Mnuchin, in congressional testimony March 11, rejected the term “bailout.” He said, “This is not a bailout. This is considering providing certain things for certain industries.”Airlines must commit to maintaining payroll. It means no bonuses, no buybacks, & no breaking union contracts in bankruptcy. Companies should commit to pay a min $15 wage & board seats for workers.

Nothing. You should demand nothing.

Take bailout out of potus realDonaldTrump pockets , he’s the one the responsible leader negligently & selfishly living to the American people for months wasting life saving time they could’ve been preparing .

Like the Red state of CA?

No bailouts! That lesson was learned in the housing market collapse and somehow it has now been conveniently forgotten. What a disgrace. They’re ALL big government supporters now.

How about someone like say Bernie who cares more about people than corps? Who can be trusted not to give bonuses to fraudulent bamkers. Oh yah, you torched him.

NO LAYOFFS OF EMPLOYEES FOR 5 YEARS....NO BONUSES OR STOCK BUYBACKS FOR 5 YEARS!!!!
