I buy this outline but honest question, was the massive covid stimulus avoidable? I rode a bicycle around NYC during the early days of covid and it was a ghost town, like not a person on the streets in a city of 8 million. On the weekend I took a ride up state for a hike and virtually every business was closed on the way. It seemed inevitable at that point the economic consequences of this were going to be massive and I am kind of amazed it took this long. It feels easy to say these steps got us in this mess but I am wondering what the alternative was?
