    Sending everyone 2 grand would be much more effective than spending the equivalent amount of money on a corporate bailout. A corporate bailout would do nothing to help all those people out of jobs. They don’t have stocks. They don’t have useful skills, if they’re trained for AI specifically.

    2 grand is not enough, but it would absolutely be more useful to give the money to them than to give it to their employers.

    The democrats absolutely should oppose a corporate bailout. I have no faith that they would actually do that, but they should.

    I also highly doubt that Trump would actually follow through on that 2 grand thing.
