Their thought process is probably to get people to spend money fast to jump start the economy when its up and running. They can open it back up but they cant get it started if everyone is broke and scared due to the lock down.
They can either print more money and risk inflation or they could just let businesses shut down.
Republicans wont pass this. I honestly dont expect another check this month. Gonna be weeks of back and forth bickering. Might see one next month unless trump says fukk it and opens the economy back up by June
might as well help people with money and when other businesses open up partially the can spend. People still have to buy groceries, pay bills etc. The Republicans are stuck anyways. Whether people get money or not. They are responsible for this pandemic getting this bad.If this passes, people who live very similar lives to those making like 75,000 to 120,000 because of loans, obligations, et al., will feel a way. Those people are going to get a major windfall for this. That's why these programs should be universal.

Ain’t the damage already done? What makes them think it’s gonna magically come back to the way it was a few months ago?
so those jobs are gone forever, etclotta businesses arent closed yet, but will be closed for good with another cpl months of this shytso those jobs are gone forever, etc
I don’t know how this will get better anytime soon even with those places reopening. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Some big companies like Apple will be opening soon though.
