  • The german govt got a 20% stake in Lufthansa. Did the US govt. Take a stake in all the airlines it bailed out?

    Interestingly the germans dont try that hard to pretend they are capitalists but behave like one when the time comes, unlike the posers in the USA.

    • Of course some people look at that as govt trying to take over the airlines. But I suppose they could wrangle something with preferred stock so it wasn't. In the US airlines have to repay 30% of the money they got, which seems pretty low unless you're the airline. Always two sides to the coin.
