Yeah. It’s a little bit of a misleading article, to be honest. They didn’t “lose” anything. Conditions changed for them, and they’re planning to clean up on a bunch of undervalued assets once this entire bullshit is winding down (whenever that happens), and they’ll wind up hugely ahead of where they started out.

There are other possibilities of course, but all of the other possibilities that I think are realistic involve complete collapse. Which they will, almost certainly, be positioned to survive much better than the average peasant will.
