That would break the symmetry with bankruptcy, then. You definitely can
get the benefit of EM despite being unable to pay the cost of EM due
to bankruptcy. Usually this would happen when EM itself causes you to go
bankrupt, so calling it a "benefit" is dubious; nonethless, the point is
that EM still occurs when you can't pay for it, so I see no reason why
it shouldn't also occur when you lack the manpower.
