I will assume, kindest assumption of the three, that it is the later and you are not bright enough to realize people who lost their jobs to this disaster need help. (Isn't it possible they were so young they had no emergency fund yet, or that their emergency fund had already been drained by another emergency and not yet built back up, or that they were never educated about having an emergency fund, which is just pitiful. I know there are "cheats" but in this terrible time we can help those who lost their job without judgment about their emergency funds.)

Do you live in a vacuum? Those that lost their jobs will also receive a stimulus check. They are entitled to unemployment which has been raised substantially. Businesses can apply for loans that will not need to be paid back if used to pay employees. Young or older makes no difference. Distribute your stimulus as you wish not at the behest of someone else and be careful who you point fingers at for being unintelligent.
