This shibboleth that no one buys products from a bankrupt company needs to be nuked right now. How many times have airlines declared bankruptcy only to keep flying? Or more to the point, investors continue to snap up treasury bonds from a bankrupt nation - the United States of America.

I can partially agree, but buying something you use once, like an airline flight or a hambuger is different than a capital investment like a vehicle. The consumer has to live with the product for 5 years typically, and we all know that after sale service is just as important as the product itself- what good is a 30k car if it doesn’t run and you can’t get it repaired ?
