 @e4576eea If anyone should've bailed them out, it should have been the oil companies.
Oh, wait, we 'normals' know nothing about such deals.
Kind of like a Zaibatsu.  For example, clearly there is a relationship between oil and car companies; that's out in the open.  However, such vertical relationships also had backdoor deals, in Japan, that the population didn't know anything about.
