    AlecStapp __apf__ True enough, though several of those bills were not relief to individuals but to corporations — without the job guarantees or other concessions you’d typically expect. I’d argue those shouldn’t necessarily be included.

      AlecStapp __apf__ The airline bailout of 2020 differed dramatically from the auto bailout of 2009. That all being said, still one of the largest rescue packages globally. And worth thinking deeply about.

        AlecStapp __apf__ My point should be taken as ‘maybe this wasn’t the biggest package in the world, but it certainly was one of the biggest and delivered *a lot* of relief to a lot of people.’
