Corporations reinvest it and create jobs, the better idea would be to bail out companies but ban stock buybacks. You need businesses, or else jobs won’t exists.

Corporations only "reinvest and create jobs" if they have now choice i.e. the only add more waiters if they have too many customers.

TED Talk: Nick Hanauer "Rich people don't create jobs" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKCvf8E7V1g

As you noted, the spend and windfall on buybacks or maybe automation.
