Depends on your perspective. Saving the airlines does a hell of a lot more for me than saving a couple small businesses. It’s about the only penny of my tax money I benefit from. They sure as hell like to hand out a lot of money to other shit that does me no good.

i feel bad for some restaurants. the ones who do the right thing and just make enough to live a normal/good healthy life do not deserve this. i wish there were options for them and some help to at least sustain life until the pandemic gets better or improves.
however....
i don't feel bad for others where they are crying poverty but have made millions thru the years. some, not a lot but a good chunk, by me are crying now but you never heard a peep when they didn't declare a lot of their cash revenue and have houses in very nice and affluent neighborhoods. all of a sudden they can't afford their lifestyles and are panicking. hard for me to feel bad when husband and wife drive the newest Mercedes, have 6 bedroom houses with 3 bathrooms that cost about one million dollars, etc. they should have saved like anyone else.
at least with the airlines it is a service we need in order to function as a world. if joe's pizza closes down the block for not preparing for an emergency and living too lavish, sucks to be him. joe's pizza doesn't give a shit when my dad couldn't work cause of health issues so vice versa.
i am not trying to sound cold hearted either, just realistic. lots of bigshots in my neighborhood love showing off. now shit hits the fan and they cry.
