Yeah, those stimulus payments that the government sent out were poorly done. I realize some people needed them and those are the people which should have received them but me and my wife received thousands of dollars automatically even though we were both still working through the entire pandemic. They really needed more of a surgical approach instead of blanket payments.

Reply to comment by Ansuz07 in ELI5: If money today is all digital, why can't all the countries governments just go on the computer and add like five more zero's to their account and fix everything? Same principal is 100 years ago too I guess, why not just print more cash? by ss89898
