there's UI, there's cash payments, there's money for schools, there's money for live venues, there's money for vaccine procurement and distribution. the stimulus bill provides tons of direct help to lots of people who need it. framing it as all for the wealthy is actively harmful https://twitter.com/DanPriceSeattle/status/1342677472320630785
the bill doesn't do enough, but presenting what it does as useless or aimed only at the rich is reactionary garbage. wtf is wrong with people?
expanded UI payments are not trickle down economics. money for vaccines is not trickle down. money for live venues wrecked by the pandemic is not trickle down.
don't help Republicans prevent people from getting aid and then call yourself progressive.
that guy's a CEO, though, so I don't know what the fuck his deal is, but he should shut the fuck up.
