2.1 million non-postal federal employees
1.3 million active duty military
500k postal employees
Countless of us who have still gotten a paycheck

Why just blanket give to Elon Musk or even me types?

You want to help the truly impacted?

Extend unemployment.
Increase unemployment.
Figure out the rental crisis crashing on us very soon.

The money gets spent into the economy which in turns helps. Take away the money from the Kennedy center and the Smithsonian . Doctors and Nurses and people on the front line haven't missed a check either but damnit in hell they can sure use it.
