I mean today, literally, he could call Nancy Pelosi, who most certainly knows who he is and would call him back, and scream at her for the insane lack of direct federal action to help regular workers affected financially by this crisis in the bill they just passed.

If enough people like him did that to our world leaders you can be damm sure it would make a difference.

Who isn’t affected? Are you arguing we should simultaneously bail out the whole country?

Yes of course. The government should take steps to stabilize the whole country and reduce the damage caused by mass disaster events. That’s what governments are for.

I don’t disagree, but I find your general stance of “of course my ideology is reality” totally problematic.

Edit: To clarify there is a wide array of opinions about “what government are for” and “what governments should do” ... I think it is important to acknowledge that when expressing an opinion about what you think.
