[sharechat] Govt. rescue hazard

From:	Marilyn Munroe <who.c@res.co.nz>

The practice of the Labour government wading in with the tax payers cheque 
book every time a large important enterprise is in financial difficulties is 
storing up future troubles.

Imagine the following hypothetical situation;

The scene:               Air New Zealand boardroom in the near future.

1st director:   "Hey I've a great idea, why don't we fly jumbo jets into 
                        Hokitika."

2nd director:   "Are you crazy, there is not enough passenger demand to justify 
                        
                        that. We would go broke."

1st director:   "That doesn't matter, if we go broke the government will rescue
                        us. It is a one way bet. We cant lose, it doesn't 
matter what sort of crazy
                        stuff we do."

Boop-boop-de-do Marilyn
