We should also be bailing out people forced into unemployment/less work and small businesses that would otherwise close. This will likely kill my job. Doomsday and SnoBorderZero will suffer for a bit, but their jobs will resume. I don’t know what the rest of the industry will look like a month from now. Good luck and take care of yourself.

Good luck man, stay safe first and foremost, then crush whatever opens back up on the other side. Any petitions, whatever plan you want me to back that comes out of Congress, let me know.

If there's anything that we can do to help whatever that may be just let us know.

One of three men in their 70s will be the President for the next 4 years, when COVID-19 is predicted to continue hitting the nation in waves for at least the next 24 months.
Potential VPs must be rubbing their hands together.

Tax season extended by 90 days One would think that isolation would make people file their taxes more quickly, not less.

The stock buyback one is dumb but mostly harmless short to medium term. Anything else there isn't really a problem for me

Anything else there isn't really a problem for me The theory is, I’m guessing, if they buyback their stock, are they really a “public company”? If AA buys your stock and then the government gives them a billion dollars, did that actually benefit you? They’re looking after your investment and giving you a slice of the pie after the bailout.

I think it's simple cash liquidity. In the market, its really an exchange of money for a good. In the short/medium term I can see the argument and would be in favor or limits at a minimum. In the long term, this is how you get penny stocks and bankruptcy.

You normally like buy backs since it shows the company has faith in their business. An 80% clip is a bit absurd and should probably be capped at a certain limit. But in this dialogue it's hard to belabor that point as everyone just sees billions being 'wasted'.

Tulsi has dropped from the race and is endorsing Biden.

So I'd like to point out that second sentence is 100% assumption. Probably true, but an assumption.
That is also irresponsible from an elected official, though much lower on the scale.
