This is the funniest post.
Devil’s advocate, hear me out (thought experiment), what if the economy is made up of people other than business owners? What if economic function needs both businesses and individuals to survive?
Where, out of curiosity, did you find the objective fact that the free money giveaway wasn’t meant to be welfare? It certainly helped a lot of people… fare… better?
Is it possible that a person could be made so averse to the idea of “welfare” through conditioning that, when they see it plainly in front of them, their knee-jerk reaction is to invent a whole new reality to justify making sure the biggest benefactors of society remains squarely “those who need it least“?
If you took your stimulus, or a PPP loan, or avoided eviction due to moratorium, or were in any way given a tiny sliver of help directly or indirectly using government funds, you are a welfare recipient. You can no longer claim having pulled yourself up by your bootstraps! Ever!
The thought is so painful to so many Americans that they literally would rather just starve at the feet of the rich out of some fever-dream version of earned righteousness.
