I'm not sure what your point is, since nobody claims that there
are 2.5 million new jobs. The whole point of the "paycheck protection
program" was to keep people solvent so that furloughed people can
come right back to work, and apparently it worked very well, much
to the surprise of many people.
As for the economy generally, the world is in a global deflationary
spiral, headed for a major financial crisis, the worst in history.
At the same time, the world is headed for WW III, and the US is headed
for war with China.
The talk about a new American civil war is nonsense.
