This is otherwise known as a TAXPAYER FUNDED BAILOUT. Socialize the loss, privatize the gain.
Let them burn in the fire they set.
No, a bailout would be that they get a big payday to continue as normal. Nationalization would mean the government takes control and it becomes part of the government.
Airlines were a bailout. Amtrak was nationalized.
It can function a bit like a bail out if the investors know they'll get a better than market rate when it's nationalised, but yeah they still shouldn't be conflated without reason.
