    Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. Like, it isn’t quite as simple as “print $1m for everyone and they can all go out and buy Ferraris.” But, there are plenty of situations where the government can just print the money and it won’t cause inflation or any other harmful effects.

      There’s a line from (I think) a Tyler Perry movie that goes “The only thing reparations will do is make Cadillac the best selling car in the country.”
