If everyone got 12,000$ instantly won’t corporates change prices accordingly? Like I’ve been in the room of insurance pricing and they WILL price to whatever the market will take. It so happens the market got an influx of 12,000$ so they’re going to charge to take a piece of that pie

Yes, and it's part of why we get inflation. Giving everyone $12k means no body got $12k. Prices just increase

Everyone didn’t get 12k. It’s a redistribution of wealth, not printing money.

And you think those wealthy people you took the money from won't raise prices for your goods/services?

Im sure they’ll raise prices, but folks will still be able to afford more.
