Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home
I say, screw it all, and just make this simple. No bailouts for big corp. If they didn't sock money away for a rainy day, tough. If they're in desperate straits when this is over, then we can figure something out. Business owners, especially big corporations, ought to be able to weather a few months of downtime. They can always go to the banks if they need money, like everybody else.
Money for hospitals, first responders, equipment and supplies. Companies can't lay people off or force them to take extended leave. They continue to pay them their salaries, government reimburses.
Simple, clean, immediate help and economic stimulus.
The "economy", meaning the Dow, will snap back, it always does. It may take a while, but it will. That's not the priority here. It may be the priority for someone's re-election, but that's not a priority here either. Taking care of the sick and the out of work is.
