It's impossible not because its hard to give people money.

It's impossible because the corporate mega machine is already auto programmed to extract as much cash out of people, in ways most people can't even comprehend.

How else do you end up with huge inequality or with a subprime meltdown?

It's not enough to just give people cash, you have to protect them from a machine that has already proved multiple times its vastly superior to any regulatory mechanism on the planet.

If China, South Korea or Japan haven't done any such thing having been hit harder, totally feels like corporate lobbies are pulling the strings in US and UK taking full advantage of fear as they did to get the banks bailed out in 2008.
