Part B of this question, how big does a company have to be before it can be labeled critical for the economy and do whatever stupid shit it wants and pass the damage on to the taxpayers?

My phys ed teacher friend and I, had a long talk about the death of responsibility after our mtn bike ride this morning. A person could get depressed about our society nurturing weakness and subsidizing idiocy both corporate and individual. For every Lil' Lookout or Lil' Pete out there, there are dozens of kids whose parents call the school if they turn an ankle or break a sweat in gym class. Bailouts for everyone!
