> For the vast majority of people their covid stimulation money did not go into their pockets, it went to their landlord or their mortgage holder At a strong risk of over-simplifying, this is a problem solved by regulation. The problem is that you're suggesting we regulate the average citizen by replacing their money with rationed supplies. You've got it all wrong, the average citizen is entitled to freedom within the bounds of the law. The institutions and the corporate abstractions are entitled to regulation and more restricted bounds of law, they are not entitled to more freedom than a human being. Our current situation with corporate power is evidence of a total failure of Western capitalist ideals. We've fucked up worse than communism because communism (at least with the USSR) ended, but we fund and support the same atrocities ourselves nonetheless, with our supposedly superior ideals.
