Those upcoming stock buybacks are going to be dirt cheap

Maybe they'll be involved in a sector that gets a bail out and use the money on stock buybacks. I know there are a few middle men but it's still a pretty efficient transfer of wealth from the public to the rich.

And if it worked for the airlines post covid, I'm sure Trump will let them get away with it 👍👍
