Great framing. A historic reference you may be interested in is "loans for shares" in Russia 1990s. Literal sell off of the Soviet empire that made the famous oligarchs.
Although we don't have state owned companies in the same way - we do have NOAA, USPS, fannie mae/Freddie Mac, Federal lands and mineral rights. I would guess the end game is to get these sold off for cheap on the pretense of efficiency.
Anyways. Thanks for keeping up your contributions.
