What good is giving money to a company that can't contribute to the economy? That's feeding a parasite. 70% of this economy is driven by consumer spending at the bottom, not by companies like Boeing covering their poor financial decisions. Giving a company like boeing money is fundamentally unproductive compared to giving it to the people, who would reinvest it into the most productive and critical aspects of the economy, not just who commands favorable defense contracts or golfs at Mar a Lago.

Boeing is affected by consumer spending just as much as every company in existence.

> reinvest it into the most productive and critical aspects of the economy

How? People, really, really, really, want to go out and spend money right now, but it's impossible because everything is shut.

What do you mean? Everything is available online and can be delivered to your door. About the only thing I don't have access to is little boutique shops. I can even get weed delivered via app.

That being said, I don't think anyone is looking to spend money with unemployment at 20%. People are using their stimulus checks to pay down debt and buy diapers. Belts are being tightened. Rent is not being paid. None of this is a recipe for consumer spending without a sustained injection of cash. $1200 buys three weeks rent in a 1 bedroom apartment in LA county.

If that's the case then you're living in the 1% (0.1%?) of places where this is available.

A sustained injection of cash means nothing if it's just paper money without anything backing it. If people aren't out, you know, creating things to sell, then a continuously pumping out money means rampant inflation.
