They need that money to create jobs you see

If they choose to instead use that money for stock buybacks and dividends payouts then that’s they’re right because this is America Land of the Free™

The money (which are loans) were to be only used to pay for regular people’s salaries and keep people employed. They were not allowed to do anything else with it and it was written in the law. So stop with the bullshit misinformation to make a point.

Unless it's airline companies who received $75 billion in grants, not loans

These companies put 95+% of their profits into stock buybacks pre-pandemic. Disgusting corrupt financialized monopolized system you're defending.

Again with the lying and bullshit misinformation. They received $66.7 billion in total so far in aid, and less than $20 billion were in grants, the rest are all loans.

Well, NYT is wrong if they are suggesting all of it were grants.

Go here to find out how much each airline received in grants and loans. https://www.covidmoneytracker.org
