>Instead of arguing over small changes in stimulus check size that would have a huge impact on the lives of millions, perhaps we should be arguing over small changes that would barely be noticed by the 660 billionaires in the country. "The 660 billionaires in the U.S. have increased their collective net worth by $1.1 trillion since the start of the pandemic. [...] The income eligibility restrictions would have a net impact of roughly $200 billion, according to analysis from Opportunity Insights, a nonprofit research organization. That is only 18 percent of the total value of wealth creation that U.S. billionaires saw in 2020; in others words, peanuts. “U.S. billionaires are delinking from the rest of the society, an extreme form of social distancing. Their fortunes soar while most Americans are facing unprecedented health and economic challenges,” said Chuck Collins, director of the Institute for Policy Studies’ Program on Inequality."
