The PPP was multi-trillion, not near-trillion. And yes, there were a lot of issues with the PPP. That seems to have been fairly unique (thank goodness) The other federal bailouts aren't talked about often on HN, because they are not tech companies. And most of those conversations feature the talking point "they paid back the loan" as well. I have no idea why it's important. I'm fine with the government subsidizing EV manufacturing industries. That's not the question. The question is "why is it important they paid the loan back?"
