Right, but Shell spends that money and that stimulates the economy.

Bob sticks those food stamps in his investment account and sits on them until one of his execs gets caught doing something highly illegal and needs a $100mil early retirement package.

Selfish Bob.

Edit: /s in case it’s not obvious that I swapped the names “Bob” and “Shell”

And shell uses that 2 trillion to lower the price for consumers.

Bob gives all his money to the company execs.
