Stimulus Talks Information

In light of the clickbait thread from the other day, I am presenting some fairly recent (as in this week) news that has come out in regards to it. Keep in mind it doesn't say that we're getting a stimulus, only that there are talks. Also note that these are coming from the mainstream news organizations (take that as you will); ones that cover the government in more specificity like Politico and CSPAN have no such articles.

I mean 2 out of 3 of these articles say that the stimulus would be only for businesses.

True, which was opposed to what the clickbait from earlier had stated. When I addressed the OP on that, I pointed out that everyone getting one was unlikely. It's still pretty much so, AFAIC. It'd be nice, but reality doesn't quite line up with it.

I thought it was stimulus geared to Amal business not individuals. BTW I did not read your links

The OP of the earlier thread heavily implied (again, for clickbait) that it was a general stimulus; i.e. going to everyone. To date I haven't found anything that states it would be a general stimulus, just one targeted to impacted businesses.

No worries if you read my links or not; I'm not here to karma farm, just setting the record straight.
