IMHO the aid should have been loans only and executive bonuses should have gone to the government as collateral. If the company pays back the loan, the executives get their bonus.



I have no horse in this race but intrigued by one sided comments here.

Wouldn't people just be laid off of if govt did not give 65 mil to booking as benifits.(I assume this benifit is similar to short term work which is present in Germany). At the same time 25m is stock grants. So I feel both cannot be compared.

If the government says you get no aid, Wouldn't company just lay them off? From what little I understand, In EU, govt pays a part of salary for employees to prevent them from getting laid off
