Are you complaining about the massive amount of not-really-loans given to small and not small during COVID?
Right? You're vociferously complaining about that frequent game played by corporations with outsized lobbying abilities to get loans that aren't really ever expected to be paid? How much was that in the grand scheme of printing money by the fed, a billion?
Or are you angry about little poor people getting a pittance of money in the grand scheme of things?
It is so strange how much people shrug off corporate handouts, but get up in arms when poor folks get a pittance from the government.
Edit: my tone was a bit harsh, probably because I get this knee jerk reaction.
It's probably because corporations are like gods. You can't kill them. They are omnipresent. With data hoovering, they are some form of omniscient. They are tireless, sleepless, don't require air, water, or food. The modern way to kill a corporation is probably so serpentine that it puts the best D&D plot to kill a god to shame. They don't technically have a physical body. They have servants, followers, a clergy, and power. They can cast "summon army of retainer lawyers" and send you to hell.
Who are we to question if the god of money hands the god of cars magic printed-but-never-actually-printed numbers that aren't based in something?
