The bill will be paid off from taxes, so it makes sense that the bailout comes with company stock transfer to workers. It’s fair for many reasons. One of them is that billionaires and corporations don’t pay taxes. What about, instead of 50%, make the bailed out company be 100% owned by the people - not the government, the people.
