I am not surprised. The Fed wanted to stress test by 55% according to the tweet I saw and I think it was just to check the treasury bond stockpile. If they failed, I think they would just prevent stock buybacks as it doesn't help money circulating in the economy.
I completely agree that the economy will probably collapse once the measures in the economy are removed. There just isn't anything they can do because costs accumulate and eventually someone has to pay it back.

The Fed is well aware of where the pitfalls are. They are holding out hope (desperation) that their money printing will turn into inflation but it is not looking good for them. They will get a bit of a tailwind for a couple years as commodities inflate due to supply issues. However, that is market corrected which happens in a few years.
Long term, ie 4 or 5 years (+) they are screwed.
