They might. The amount of money they're pumping into this is absolutely staggering. I don't see how they're going to make all of that money back, unless they manage to replace nearly all employees.

Either way it's going to be a disaster: mass unemployment or the largest companies in the world collapsing.

    I dunno, the death of mega corporations would do the world a great deal of good. Healthier capitalism requires competition, and a handful of corporations of any given sector isn't going to seriously compete nor pay good wages.

    It's certainly the option I'm rooting for, but it would still be a massive drama and disrupt a lot of lives. Which is why they'll probably get bailed out with taxpayer money.
