It would be virtually impossible for even spending in the billions to impact the actual life quality of the richest men on earth, so you effectively have to assume they are just *that* ideologically committed to their personal wealth and the power it brings.https://twitter.com/NatStClair/status/1240293174762860544 …

The plan, for instance, to give every 'American adult' 1k - assuming that just means adult citizens (whereas it should probably also at least cover perm. residents) would cost $200bn. Potentially *per month* if we kept doing it.
so Bezos, if he sold everything, could operate Amazon without revenue for *maybe* a quarter, before it falls apart along with him. FWIW, I think the government should do the checks and print the money; inflation is progressive (and currently quite low).

Ah, sure. Maybe that's what this person is calling for, but to be clear, I do not think what we need Bezos for is to fund a full-scale stimulus package.

Yeah, normally I am very much against "print some money" solutions. But a pandemic - like a war - is very much one of those 'print money' moments. Take out some debt (interest rates are rock bottom), print some money. Sort out taxing to pay for it later.
