Capitalism will save this world

I need air travel. We aren't traveling right now because we are told we can't. It's not a natural market force and I am ok with a bailout. We are printing money anyhow.
The rules have made flight impractical. Air Canada has also cancelled all flights to the states. A lot of tourist destinations like Jamaica, Barbados, Bermuda are closed to all commercial travel and tourists. Yes you can technically fly. But not realistically.
we have been printing money for decades.
air travel will survive because it is as you say a necessity and the government will bail it out because as you say we live in a world where we can simply print money.
The German government bailed out Lufthansa for $9.8 billion which is $13+ billion canadian?
So expect Air Canada to cost us in that neighborhood.
Print money? Selling bonds is "printing money"? If there wasn't a buyer, money cant be printed.
Easy. I live in a country with a $25 trillion debt, the last 3 trillion just magicked out of nowhere.
I've always said that to the ruling elite and the government, we are just chattel. Canada and the US are corporations, bought and sold on the stock market and we are assets of those corporations. Stop expecting the governments to care about us. They don't. Trump has just brought that out into the open but it has always been thus. Yes, we are human capital stock. Yes get angry. Now channel that anger into constructive action. We do not live in democracies or republics. We live in coropratocracies/oligarchies. Time to change that. Time for people to wake up to reality.
‘Something isn’t right’: U.S. probes soaring beef prices
One hundred years ago, U.S. antitrust prosecutors broke down monopolies in meatpacking. But can they do it again?https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/25/meatpackers-prices-coronavirus-antitrust-275093
Edmonton used to have a huge meat packing district and many packers. Now I believe there are two. And Canadian beef prices are ridiculous.
Personally I don't eat beef very much at all. I never eat ground beef. We might make a roast beef once or twice a year. If that. I find beef hard to digest.

There's never been a surety to take the liability of the government.
What do you fantasize you're going to do? Send a repo man to seize the Army? Put a lien on Parliament Hill?
