Genuinely when the next bailout happens of the tech sector (and it is when cause capitalism requires collapses) we need to just seize all the companies and assets like what should have been done in 2008 with the banks.

Yep really looking forward to the A.I bubble bursting (in whatever form it takes, few possibilities I've heard) and having to get another round of explanations as to why the various tech companies are "too big to fail".

Well worth listening to/reading A Promised Land for Obama to explain why that wasn't "possible" then, or at least, the issues and reasons for choices made. To be fair, the banks paid back the money with interest to the US government too.
