The Unemployment Line: COVID-19 Edition

Well I hope we are taking this time to reflect and think about how we can help those less fortunate.
I know I dont have the answers but I'd be hard pressed to be able to explain how universal income (which is government money) keeps corporations from profiting from gov't money?
Probably a topic for a different thread.

Well, i definitely dont have all the answers either.. but to be clear, UBI doesnt go to corporations, it goes to individuals.. it does help corporations, becuase it gives people money that flows into the economy.. but what it prevents is corporate bailouts like in 2008 and now, where corporations Ike United Airlines recieve Billions, then still furlough employees, or ask them to take voluntary separation like was in the news yesterday.. Does that clarify it any?
