Makes sense, no? Would you have wanted to see GM, Ford and Chrysler go bankrupt and let go of tens of thousands of employees? What would have been the consequence of the collapse of the financial and banking sectors in the US? All these scenarios are unfathomable as they would have collapsed the US economy in a modern day 1929.
I hear the absolutists who think their bunkers and hunting skills would save them from Armageddon, but no thank you.
