Evil is ironically done with the best of intentions.
For the record - the federal bailout helped many business owners I know personally keep people on the payroll, and many unemployed friends (from food service and travel industry) able to keep paying their rent. With COVID’s 99% survivability rate for most of the working population, I think those benefits took priority over a healthcare stipend. Not trashing the idea of fixing healthcare at all, but given a limited bag of cash and choices to make, keeping people housed and fed en masse is arguably higher on the priority list than a healthcare half measure (if that).

What they got, however, pales in comparison to the "open the Fed" measures that gave all the big guys access to trillions of dollars of "free" capital. Just as in the last recession, this giant transfer from the public to the assholes will destroy small firms and reward 2B2F firms.
