    Yeah I feel like even as propagandized Americans are everyone pretty much knows bailing out everyone in 08 was a massive mistake and we should never do it again.

      We literally did it again in 2020, idk what you are talking about about. What do you think 'quantitative easing' is?

        If there was any hope for this country burning down businesses that got PPP loans forgiven would have been a nationwide meme.

      I saw Jamie Dimon's name in a headline the other day that wasn't about a jail sentence or an obituary. It's incredible his name still has purchase in the world of economics.

      "But they paid back those loans with interest" - my mother

      Yea turns out when instead of punishing a company for taking everybody's money you give them a couple billion dollars of free money they can figure out how to make the 1.25% interest payments none of us would ever get.
