Seems straightforward to me -
Allow stimulus under some conditions:
1. Stimulus is paid out as compensation for work done for a government work program. There are plenty of parks, roads, manual labor (house building, etc) and other jobs that need to be done. We can clean up all these things and improve our country while insuring people are working.
or
2. Stimulus is paid out in the form of EBT/Welfare. Funds are locked such that first your housing expenses are paid from the stimulus, and any remainder can only be spent on goods necessary for survival. No amazon, no walmart, etc. You'll be going to the local government office to collect your bag of food and toiletries in exchange for FoodTokens.
These are the only ways I can see we can prevent enriching the ultra wealthy who control the supply chain and also improve our country.
Being Canadian and not knowing anything about America you probably never actually studied the great depression so it's understandable you know jack shit about it. But the country has done (1) before and it worked well. (2) is a more modern solution since we have the infrastructure to control welfare money already. We call that EBT here, and it's so strict people sell their EBT cards outside of local grocers in order to buy booze/luxuries. Mind you, this is extremely illegal but they are rarely ever punished. We have the infrastructure to do this. All of this helicopter money is simply lobbyist controlling our money supply to direct it right into the pockets of billionaires.
