That didn't age too well.

Is this a new low? I think it might be.

and this post baited the resident media worshippers

Better hope so, I'd like the money printer not to ruin the world economy for the next who knows how long.

Maybe you're too young to remember this, but the 2008 crisis was far worse in terms of fundamentals. The economy will be fine and it isn't something you should worry about.

Nothing is worse than shutting down an entire economy, actually maybe printing trillions and trillions of dollars is worse. So yeah....

No one denies that printing money is inflationary but it's all about the trade off. You accept higher inflation down the line to prevent massive unemployment and business failure now.

It creates a poor incentive structure bailing out businesses but most of them are SME's that have been decimated due to a virus destroying demand, not through regular market forces. It's not like these businesses made bad decisions, so give them the loans and let's see how they do when normal market conditions resume.

The entire economy isn't shut down and people have enough for the next couple months. Are you not producing economic output during these times?

Do you know what's worse than what we have now? Destroying consumer confidence and creating mass panic due hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) dying.

I feel the same way. I think they are keeping it to a minimum, while still being able to get the job done.
