It's not really a Stimulus Bill

It's more like an Anti-Zombies bill.

This one is more of a relief bill.

A stimulus bill will come later, presumably focused in infrastructure. (I was astonished to hear that ASCE upgraded the nation's bridges to C- from the previous D+)

The trick will be actually turning it into concrete and steel and not letting it get vacuumed up by giant corporations that would give it to their executives and stockholders.

That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

i thought it was what governments were best at, taking peoples money and injecting it into the pocket of large corporation shareholders? not what they are meant to be doing?

Over the past couple of decades, I have stopped respecting people who habitually substitute smart-ass wisecracks and cynical hyperbole for realistic dialogue.

I have wasted too much time interacting with them and gaining little or nothing from it.

I just realized the stimulus checks are basically an apology for handling the virus so poorly. It's not that people need it because of the pandemic, but because of the USA's response to it.
