How do companies like Fisker get bailed out

219 viewsEconomicsOther

I was always under the presumption that corporate bail outs were for companies/corporations that if they went out of business (GM in Detroit) that they could get a corporate bail out. That’s why mom and pop shops don’t “get bailed out”, but shut down because of bankruptcy.

GMs bailout was the fed buying shares directly from GM. The Fed made a lot of money on those shares when they sold them. Fisker is not getting bailed out. They are filing for bankruptcy.
