Most people don't understand equities markets. For instance, layoffs tend to result in a company's stock going up but much of the public finds that completely counterintuitive.

After a lot of years of contemplation, I've realized what people take for "common sense" is largely just a pattern-recognition response based on what they find familiar. But what they find familiar is peculiar to their own life experiences.

Markets go up when some large uncertainty decreases and predictability increases, which is what the relief bill brought (compared to uncertainty of what was going to happen prior to it).

Yup, it’s a kind of squaring the circle of the idea that we can borrow money/productivity from the future to build things now, and so we can also fund things now to have money in the future! But it relies on thinking the future probably has money in it.
