Is anyone talking about bailouts without equity? I thought that was implied, since it's how they handled the automaker bailout 12 years ago.

But regardless I don't see the efficacy of bailouts for most companies. Besides a few critical businesses like the airlines and Boeing, the money would do very little to help the workers who have been laid off or furloughed. The government needs to pick up that tab directly, or else the cash isn't going to be used for it.
