The state shouldn't prop up a failing business.
When a business fails it dies and a newer better one takes its place.
That's the beauty of the free market.

With state regulations monopolies which would normally be temporary become permanent as they are the ones who ca actually afford to pay government taxes. Thus small businesses die out.

It can be complicated, IMO. Sometimes it’s beneficial to support the industry in the short term. 

During the lockdowns we lost 80% of the oil companies (all smaller &lt;$5B) because the government mandated that they stop drilling…..

IMO, we may have been better off with a subsidy for them where the government buys oil in the short term to keep them afloat. Most of those companies had to sell their land to bigger ones because the costs to resume drilling are too great once you stop. 

I agree that failing industries need to gtfo. Imagine if our government was paying millions to prop up the travel agencies of the 90s? It would be moronic. A half a million people out of work (automation 😩) but they all got other jobs
