Trump's $850 billion economic stimulus package is a little north of $2k per person. Mnuchin says that they're targeting "small to medium-sized businesses", and giving $50 billion in relief to airlines. Edit3: fuck the airlines.

Yeah, I know when I travel by plane, I always look for the medium-sized commercial airline, or I simply charter a private jet. /s

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, to me, this looks like a quick cash grab by CEO's and Wall Street, and there's no way that us filthy proles will ever see anywhere around $2k in any form, including mortgage waivers, student loan debt forgiveness, or a direct cash injection like Romney's talking. Some form of the mortgage and student debt easing have been floated, I think, but the particulars aren't clear, and I wouldn't be surprised if almost no one qualifies. Hey, just like early covid-19 testing!

Lately, I've found myself wanting to be wrong an awful lot.

Edit: The fed's buying commercial papers. vvvvVVVOMIT

Edit2: There sure are a lot of promises being made to help people at the individual level. I'll believe it when I see it.
