Imagine what America would be like now if every adult knew they’d be getting $2k/mo (retroactively to when the pandemic began) & $1k for every child. Imagine how much panic, suicidal despair, domestic conflict & hunger would fall away. And be clear: we have the money to do that.

We only have the money if we print it. That didn’t work out too well for a Nicholas the 2nd. The runaway inflation that ensued led to a destabilized society and fueled the Bolshevik Revolution. We already have a hypoerpolarized culture & unrest—adding inflation would bring doom.
