Yeah... how does that compare to the stock buyback program? The way the stock market is going it seems like securing more worker happiness probably would've done it. I would bet, that in the next year or so, the benefits of the stock buyback are completely lost. Whereas the effects/value of giving people $8k (your initial divide by 10 is a needless factor to make the numbers look worse) can be seen entirely by the pandemic stimulus paid to workers.
