Our government bails its citizens out regardless of how stupid or irresponsible they are. Hell, they give out money just to give out money. They’re about to send me a second check for $1200 that I didn’t ask for and don’t even need. None of that has anything to do with capitalism.

Are you trying to compare the government bailing out citizens during a pandemic, when it's forcibly shutting down businesses and trying to keep people at home vs. something like the government bailing out the banks that literally were responsible for the 2008 recession? Because one is very clearly unlike the other and much more reprehensible than the other.

Dunno. I would love to have job handed to me where I make 650,000 a year.
