Thank you for explaining why government should never be involved in
business decisions. They should not bail them out, they should not
support them financially, and they should not regulate them to such a
degree that they are forced to rely on the government for their success.

They should not bail them out. Agreed. But government is the natural
referee. And the referee enforces the rules. When they do not, the
game is rigged.

Nice try, but referees enforce rules, they do not make them. In
business, the rules should be extremely limited, mostly requiring "fair
trade" practices, so that when they sell something, the customer actually
gets what he paid for. There does not need to be any more than that.
