> If my house burns down and I have $250K of home owners insurance, do I get the rest covered by the Feds?

Not on your home, no.

But if it were your factory and you were responsible for a respectable percentage of the workforce being able to put food on their tables, I would hope a gov entity step in and try to reduce friction for getting the factory back on its feet.

And again, that reduced friction doesn’t need to be a check to you, it could simply be forced asset sale.
