Don’t worry too much about capitalist ideals, we should be willing to bend the rules as needed to promote a system where there is healthy competition and innovation.

If we can do un-capitalistic things like bail outs and PPP schemes to help businesses when their chips are down, we should be able to handicap them when things are in their favour, to help new businesses challenge them.

We shouldn't help them when the chips are down. Let the investors hang themselves (without letting anyone starve*) so the next generation know how to plan accordingly.
