Bezos, Slim, and Buffett, Publicly Pleading Poverty, Ask Congress for Help With Their Newspapers

a reply to: Metallicus

From your perspective.

From the billionaires perspective it is a loss. They do not loose. They win.

In order for them to win they need tax $$$. The news media is shifting to electronic, they made a bad decision to scoop up these papers and now must loose. They don't loose.

Well, all we need to do is tell them NO and they will lose.

I really doubt Trump helps these clowns.

It's the lobbyists that have infected the Congress, the ones who really make the laws ($$$).

I would imagine "free" enterprise already has the promise of bail outs, the repub (and dem) way of doing business.

Too bad the government wasn't able to bail out the Pony Express and the Telegraph.

If your business model is not sustainable then it should go away without the taxpayers subsidizing you.

Surprised this isn't being praised by "small-government," clowns as "good business practice," to be honest.

Why would this be praised by small-government "clowns"?
