This does happen with some companies, though a lot less with companies in the US. The people in the US tend to not like the government owning companies, at least that’s the story that’s presented. This isn’t much of an issue in other places.

So you may just be unaware if when it does happen, since the US bailouts are typically the biggest and most visible, but others are not, at least not talked about outside of their respective countries.
