Oh well..., sorry to hear that, but I also think the world is “going to hell in a handbasket” — but on other grounds. I believe that Jesus Christ is soon to come for the church and then the 7 years Tribulation begins and then the King (”Jesus”) returns to set up the “worldwide rule” over all the nations from His Kingdom in Israel.

Exactly, it is reprehensible to prop up these failed institutions. At a time like this, those who have remained honest, and retained competent management, should have bought out those failed institutions. The Government is insistent that these fools be given tax dollars (more likely, freshly printed funny money) to keep playing. That is no formula for economic success.
