In case anyone is not aware, the planned relief for companies in the private sector is in the form of loans, not cash giveaways

You don't think a loan to a company on the brink of bankruptcy is a cash giveaway?

A loan at non-market rates is essentially a cash giveaway, though a smaller one than if you just give the cash directly.
