This is just a statement of prioritizing the personal interests. This is an irritating thing for those who wanted to at least be given right benefits. Well, not a new thng because these companies wanted to survive in the way they wanted. Foreclosure is a source of great shame and emotional turmoil for the average person, but for the richest of the rich it's called strategic default. The consequences for defaulting on a mortgage were the same for the rich; Morgan Stanley would have been virtually busted out of business when they recently defaulted on secured loans on commercial properties. This is yet another indicator that there are rules for the rest of us, and rules for the upper 10%. One seems to recall an elected official promised to bring change - meet the new boss, the same as the old boss, and we were fooled again.
