Just the start of an observation
Are some of our modern day "Captains of Industry" Billionaire-heads-of-corps making a play during this coronavirus crisis? I point to two examples - One being Sheldon Adelson, owner of Las Vegas Sands Corp, who notably is protecting the income of his current employees and even the incomes of third-party employers/employees on his properties (news link below). Another Industry Captain (I will hold name in reserve as I am an employee) is also protecting and keeping employees busy. The advantage of such action is those companies are all using this time to work on projects and be ahead of the action when business resumes. This is in contrast to the more stockholder-driven corps that are following the usual furlough and layoff model; and may not be able to respond as well when business resumes. This maps to a repeating cycle that maps to the post-Civil War Captains of Industry as our institutions. Any other Billionaire-run corps keeping their workforce up?
