    The PPP was just part of the bailouts as well. They did direct cash infusions into the richest companies, and the Fed did a lot to make sure the rich didn’t lose any money, and in effect shoveled trillions of dollars to the richest.

    The PPP was forgiven to big corporations that got the money then fired workers anyway, while small employers that kept people on after getting the money, as was the point of the program ostensibly, were forced to pay it back later.

    The Democrats are fucking worthless I’m afraid I’ve to throw in there. Can’t even make hay out of this, or change an unjust system, when they are hated and have to win.
