Billionaires have bailed themselves out. Now they want us back at work. They organized astroturf groups to beg for death. But there are people are really suffering. The money handed to the banks and hedge funds should have been used to make healthcare, education, and public transit free. In addition, everyone should be guaranteed housing.

The corona virus has exposed for all to see that the US system is unsustainable. People have cars, but cannot afford food. According to engineers the US sprawl infrastructure needs $3T in maintenance and repair just to make it safe. The #autosprawl system has been a misallocation of resources. It was already crumbling and now its fragility is obvious.

This is why helicopter money will not work -- #autosprawlmeltdown
