The ego on this guy. Just do it quietly, why brag about it
It's an important conversation to have, especially when the wealth gap between CEOs and regular people is so wide. The thing this guy is doing can potentially influence the ultra rich into giving up some of their enormous wealth.
What I've been hearing on the internet is that companies are racing to lay off as many people as they need to now, before applying for their free bailout money from the government. It also sounds like businesses are trying to lay off more than they actually need to lay off, in order to get the maximum benefit. The terms of the bailout loans are such that they can lay off people before they apply, get the money, and s…
Are we really surprised though? This is just capitalism at work.

Many businesses forced to shutdown ops thanks to the lockdown continue to pay staff, bills, rents, suppliers etc etc even though there is zero cash flowing in. Everyday the loss mounts. And its not like govt paying the employees directly wipes that loss out when they return to work.
Most business aren't run by people just sitting around waiting for Godzilla to show up, to lay people off and get bailouts from govt.

I agree with you with the first point, giving money to companies isn't a good idea but I think it's also a bad idea to give it to "the people". I think it would be better to change.

I rarely go for pop culture references, but it is very much applicable here:
“Their morals, their code; it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be."
And I am saying all this annoyed at the fact that I will be one of the people having to pay massive tax increases that will have to pay for all this.
