House Democrats introduce plan to pay Americans $2,000 a month until economy recovers from COVID-19

The payments would continue for at least six months and would last until unemployment falls to pre-coronavirus levels.

I expect that's gonna be much longer than six months.

Why Are Rich Americans Getting $1.7 Million Stimulus Checks?

I think there's some rationale behind this that they authors of the piece may have missed.

It “temporarily suspends a limitation on how much owners of businesses formed as “pass-through” entities can deduct against their non-business income, such as capital gains, to reduce their tax liability,” according to The Washington Post.

People who would qualify for this would have both a pass-through entity, for example a small business that he owns that's an LLC, and a substantial non-business income (from capital gains, dividends, or whatever).

Under current conditions, many (if not most) small businesses are seriously in the red, either because they've been forced to put up "closed" signs, or due to a lack of willing customers. Allowing the owner of such a business to write off losses that business is currently suffering against other, non-business income provides a powerful incentive for him to keep the business open (or at least on life support) rather that shutting it down and walking away from it. It might just be enough to have him retain some staff, keep paying rent and utilities, etc instead of saying, "screw it, I'm done!"

From the Dallas Morning News:
If you imagine that a local business making surgical face masks is working 24/7, guess again

Why? The last time there was an outbreak (Swine Flu in 2009), everyone wanted their masks and they ramped up like mad. But what happened the moment that crisis was over? Oh, the buyers went back to Chinese suppliers from whom they could get the stuff for less, and the company nearly went bankrupt.

No good deed will go unpunished by bureaucrats:

Maui Brewing Co. under investigation by Maui liquor commission for hand sanitizer giveaways

The company has been using its Kupu Spirits distillery to produce more than 3,000 gallons of sanitizer that is 70% ethyl alcohol, which is in short supply. Its Kihei restaurant was filling up 16-ounce bottles with sanitizer for customers who bought food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, coffee, and logo items and allowed dozens of people to fill up bottles without purchase, he said.

Well I been calling the Chinese food restaurant everyday or doing a drive by with my withdrawals that have still not gone away!

Finally they answered phone and I was so happy to hear my friends, tell me still not open but will be open next week on Tuesday.

I told them hey I'm right next door and miss them so much and their food & just going their + the "fortune cookies"!

He says your phone number like ours, in his fragmented English voice & I said yes mine is 9808 you are 9 8 8 8 right back, only difference is, you take 10 min to make delicious meal, however, I can be here in 30 seconds and I will be there next week!

You can tell I don't get out much.....
