It’s not at all. The idea of policing how people spend their own money or that everything is on merit when we know most of the “merit” is what class and race you’re born into is pretty common especially around those who are in a comfortable place.

$600 is pissing on people and telling them it’s rain. 2k and demanding they spend it as you see fit is pissing in their mouth and asking them to swallow. Help the people and let them do with it what they want.

Is it all going to go to amazon? A chunk of it yeah I bet so. But if it’s to buy what people need who the hell is anyone to tell them what to do? If theyre a freedom loving American that’s the thing right? The freedom to do what you want with your money. The cries of it being hoarded or spent incorrectly harken back to the Reagan “welfare queen” hysterics Americans are so prone to. Argue about the exception instead of focusing on the rule.
