Zoom out. That is such short term thinking.

Bailouts keep inefficient and/or incompetent companies from going bankrupt. Delays and exacerbates the problem. It prevents the resources within company from being recycled into economy for higher/better use.

I disagree, what creates anomalies is the wrong use of credit. When a credit bubble bursts, companies that were not engaged in bad practices are dragged down. @3 the 1929 > 1933 period is your historical example of what not bailing out leads to.

Of course they are dragged down, as that’s the ebb and flow of a market. Majority of strong worthwhile companies will endure.

companies not prepared for a market crash aren't properly managing risk

big companies going bankrupt opens up the market to new and innovative companies

The market crash is just a symptom. The real problem is the sudden shrink in money+credit supply and consequent cost of liquidity.
Not all bailouts are good, not all are bad.

Go back to 1934 and try to convince them of that 😜
