I'm going to make a wild guess and say recipients are - percentage of population-wise - disproportionately from red states. You know, those people who don't believe there even is a virus, and even if there is, it's no worse than a mild strain of influenza. But they'll stick their hands deeper in the government money satchel than anyone else because.....you know.....freedom.

Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and owe those red states a mea culpa. And away we go.............

When I look through it it’s tracking close to each states population. California, New York, Texas. The one chart that stood out was majority of loans (looked like 75%) went to native Alaskans or native Americans. Much better than I anticipated.
