      It's hard to reconcile the emerging pundit consensus that "Actually, the USA has had a generous stimulus compared to peer nations" with all the other evidence of fraying social order, like rising hunger.https://twitter.com/MindyBe/status/1338642193741967360 …

      Also, it's telling that the major outlet that is doing the best job tracking the hunger in America story is ... the BBC.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55307722 …

          Bottom line is that American stimulus only looks more generous than peer nation because USA has a much smaller welfare state to start with. If you factor in the automatic stimulus other nations have, limits of American stimulus become clear.

          We're currently witnessing the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. Away from the American worker and into the coffers of the American mooching class, otherwise known as the wealthy.

          You just nailed the reason I only read US news in non-US media.
