    This eschews the conventional path of a big consumer stimulus to reflate the economy (that’s the kind of ruse the decadent West resorts to).

    Uh, what are they talking about? The COVID checks? Because last I checked ALL of the ruse’s resorted to by the decadent West have been supply side handouts totally what, nearly a trillion now?
