Certainly a fair portion of that stimulus money will do a lot of good. No argument about that. But also, iit is going to bid up prices, which is the same as inflation. If there existed a scheme to only send the money to those in need then that would be the very best way to go.

Interesting here. The amazing thing that I see is how losses are defined. If some CEO estimated that profits will be 400Mn abd instead they are 380 Mn that does not mean that they LOST 20Mn, but rather that the estimate that was intended to make shareholders happy was a bit off.
