This is a convenient sideshow. PPP is a pittance compared to the >$4B the Fed will be distributing to favored wealthy cronies. No one believes in "capitalism" anymore. In a system of free enterprise, we'd be happy to see businesses fail while the state supported humans in need. Instead, we have the opposite: humans are forced to suffer while corporations are bailed out with their money.
- jessaustin 7y agoHaha of course I meant ">$4T". The number is so big my fingers can't type it. Thanks for the corrective downvotes!
- akoncius 7y agothat's the issue - politicians keep saying that USA is free market, capitalist country but it's not. it is socialist capitalism with inversed relationship as you mentioned. it's time to start naming things as they are in reality
- jessaustin 7y agoIt's not just politicians, as evidenced by the legions of HN status quo defenders eager to downvote this sort of message.
