I don't even understand this rhetoric. You can't 'bailout' workers. You can send workers cash, which the government does, but you also should help businesses, because that's where people go to work in the first place.
I'm not really sure what the purpose of this antagonism is, as if protecting employment isn't in the interest of workers, or as if helping businesses and workers is mutually exclusive.
In that scenario the money sent to them still gets spent locally. They’ll still need to pay rent or mortgage, buy groceries, etc etc. They’re not going to sit on it like corporations do.
Corporations reinvest it and create jobs, the better idea would be to bail out companies but ban stock buybacks. You need businesses, or else jobs won’t exists.
You can freeze all loans temporarily. You can freeze all rents temporarily-- and even if you disagree with it, many, myself included will simply not pay it come April 1st and we will outnumber the police. The government can exchange cash for equity, then instead of selling it back or selling it on the open market, the government can give or sell it directly to the workers over time.
