The fed has recently said they aren’t going to try and prevent inflation any longer - they think that acting aggressively to prevent inflation before it hits has actually hurt the economy. So, perhaps there is something to this logic.

But I will say, in many ways we have the opposite problem right now. Too much money chasing too few good opportunities for a return has led to things like SoftBank, WeWork and many others.

The most obvious answer would be to give money to people who need it to make rent, go back to school, buy porn, etc. Compared to the complete collapse of the economy, pretty much any stimulative use is preferable.
