I don't see that changing the mood on Wallstreet to be honest. Not sure anything can at the moment...

How will we pay for it?
Exactly.

It's why that refrain will always be bullshit. The government will throw around obscene amounts of money in service of the richest, and nothing more.
Also, this is a colossal waste of money, as it does nothing to actually help the actual cause of market harm.

Almost the entirety of the student debt crisis! Don't let anyone tell you that the government can't afford something!! This is fucking ridiciulous. The first 500B just vanished in 30minutes.

I really appreciate whoever tweeted that this is like bringing a gallon of gas to help a car with a flat tire

Well, apparently the 500b of today was of no use. Maybe tomorrow's 1tri may have a bit more impact, but I believe it won't stop the train

Fucking idiots. Invest in testing kits and setting up emergency hospitals for fucks sake. Addressing a symptom of the issue, rather than the issue itself (see: root cause), is the dumbest fucking thing you could do!!!! How can these people be so stupid?

A reminder that a recession hurts the poor more than anyone else. Does that make it ok that we can spend money here and not healthcare? No. Does that make the intention bad? No. Does that make this the wrong move? Maybe, depending on efficacy, I can't comment on that.

This would be $3750 per person...

A poor person would probably do better with $3750 than whatever this accomplishes.

Yeah, this money would be better used granting free testing for the population. LOL

500b vanished in 30min today in the market. Murica!
