The wrong people getting the money is exactly what people are criticizing. I think you just disagree on the ways of preventing it.

Chicago used 60% (300million) of relief funds on police personnel costs, it's not just the business aspect that was fucked: https://blockclubchicago.org/2021/02/18/chicago-used-60-of-d...

It had an impact on keeping paychecks going to people, cops can buy meme stocks.

So can arms dealers. We’re worsening inflation by flooding military contractors with money too.

Hmm, I thought the thread was about how well or badly PPP was organized. If other stimulus measures, or defense spending was badly managed, that doesn't really mean that PPP was badly managed.
