Looking back on the thread, it seems like it was more focused on practices than specific companies. But yeah, I've also heard ZIRP used to reference companies that are unprofitable for a long time, sustained only because interest rates are so low and capital was so easily available.

I can't remember if it was Warren Buffet or someone else who said it, but they compared rising interest rates like the tide going out, and then you get to see "who's naked" under the water
