I don't doubt that there are possible bailouts with potential net positive outcomes, just that legislatures are capable of distinguishing them with an overall net positive outcome. Or that the benefits would outweigh the moral hazard of becoming reliant on them.

Better to just oppose all bailouts for all sectors, always.

  Growing stock volume: ~2.66B m^3
  Annual volume increment: 103M m^3
  Approximate number of trees: 20B
  Implied average tree volume: ~0.1275 m^3
  Volume of 250K trees: 250K x 0.1275 m^3 ~ 32K m^3

  Time for remaining trees to grow that volume back: 32K m^3 / 103M m^3/year ~ 0.00031 years ~ 2.7 hours

The opposite of creating new labels to amplify such dangerous expressions of opinion would be to reduce and simplify vocabulary into a kind of newspeak in order to unworsen such thoughtcrime.

My mom fought like this and died slowly. Dad didn't and died fast. I admire Mr. Hockenberry's courage and my mom's, because I'm pretty sure I don't have it. It's easier for me to face death than that injection. I guess I take after dad. I plan to rage against the dying of the light, and then fold.

If you can make that joke about your spinal tap going to eleven, you are a tough motherfucker.
