And this all could've been avoided if the media hadn't hyped the shit out of this virus and caused panic and hysteria. That always causes politicians to go off the rails. Just look at mass shootings.
I'm opposed to any form of help to anyone in this case - it's a bullshit shutdown, tons of theater, and no value in any of it. That said, I do have a hard time with the hate on big corps in this case. I work for a F200 manufacturing corp and we're getting hit HARD. Demand for product is around zero, we're shutting down almost all factories globally in 30+ countries, and we have tens of thousands of people out of work. We cannot afford to pay them while we're shut down. I don't care how rich the CEO is - we don't have cash to cover operating expenses that don't lead to product.
It's not my company's fault that regional and local governments are forbidding people to come to work, and not our fault that a bullshit panic made our product demand evaporate, and not our fault that maintaining our investment grade and financial ratios so that we actually have investors requires that we don't sit on enough cash to idle for weeks or months on end at full cost.
The bailout isn't going into some rich leader's pockets in our case, at least - it's going to avoid unpaid furlough of our US citizens who are getting fucked over by their own government. Come to think of it, government is the cause and the solution to this issue, eh?
