I can accept viewpoint only if we ALSO allow all unprepared companies to fail. This will then inform the next generation of CEOs to prepare more. If we socialize losses while privatizing gains we create wrong incentives.
I think the general sentiment is that we cannot just organically let most companies fail, so we are forced to bail out. But if we are breaking capitalism by bailing companies out, we should at least try to incetivize them to learn from mistakes rather than learn that they can do whatever when the times are good and get bailed out when the times are bad.
