Fuck them.

They aren't threatening the "government", they are threatening us. Government doesn't have money sitting in a bank somewhere to give them. That money comes from taxpayers one way or another.

If their company doesn't have the resources to weather this, then the shareholders made poor choices and didn't prepare.

I feel badly for their employees but their needs aren't a mortgage on the future earnings of taxpayers.

I've been laid off twice in my life and dealt with it both times. They can deal with it as well.

And the physical assets of the company aren't going to magically disappear, they can be reallocated to someone who might make better choices in the future.
