the point of sending stimulus checks is for them to be spent

honestly, when the economy is contracting $15b a day so long as it stays in shutdown mode, a mere drop in the bucket. EU is doing far more

The idea is to pay for essentials like food, rent, utility bills, credit card debt...etc.

when the economy is essentially in a medically-induced coma, spending is a fungible activity. flood all the sectors with money to keep them

every corona dime the people here get is going to either amazon apple bestbuy & walmart and not to rent/bills. this will turn into a mess

if those companies can continue to pay their workers, which are some of the few jobs still going these days, that's actually good
