Really appreciate consideration and kindness that went into this proposal but, I disagree with its premises: 1. Starting a business and making it is not supposed to be easy. It is supposed to be hard. That’s why you get to earn more money if you succeed https://twitter.com/BrentBeshore/status/1240658427577118720 …
4. It sends the completely wrong message. This is America. I’m all for unemployment insurance but why are we bailing out mom-and-pops who didn’t conservatively save for a downturn? Because we feel bad? If we save everyone all the time, no one will save.

Efficiency in markets and in value to the customer is driven by survival of the fittest, which means that weak entities need to fall out of the species. Sad but true.

This is the only valid point. Don't pick and choose. Optimal policy is probably some kind of forbearance, but we don't have infrastructure for that and UBI is most feasible. See https://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2020/03/groundhog-day-virus-plan.html … which makes this point.
