But lets take your scenario one step further and say that if these bright and "talented" people left AIG to work elsewhere..that leaves AIG in the dust but that gives one other company...hopefully a better funded and better managed company, that much of an edge in an industry that could really use a boost.
calling me small minded...and somehow you forgot how these company exist in a free market capitalistic society where the best businesses usually end up on top.
LOL. So now we're stuck with AIG you want to let it die, reducing the repayment? Hey, here's an idea, I'm going to force you to buy a house that's worth $100,000. Then, I'll not let you maintain it, but the mortgage will still be $100,000. Then, when it's a decaying pile of shit and I've stripped away all of the sinks, toilettes, windows, tile, carpet, wood floors, wiring, shingles, bricks, and wood, and use all of that to enhance my own house, I'll call your loan. You'll still need to pay me back $100,000, despite the hole in the ground that was your house only now being worth $5. Wow, you got boned. But hey, you improved my house for me, thanks!
Pretty dumb idea eh?
LOL, there is no "free market". That's your first mistake. You're second one is engaging in populist class wars.
