      yes that would be awesome, but the problem is that “make it publicly owned” means “buy out their shares” which is giving them a bailout, plus “service all the debt the company is in” which is another bailout, before you’ve even got started with fixing the horrible lack of investment over many years

        The shares would be almost worthless.

        plus “service all the debt the company is in” which is another bailout

        Nope, the company would be wound up.
