$600 is a slap in the face.

You have to own a restaurant or a bowling alley to have an opinion on this?

Most of the payments go in direct deposit.

Another pointless post by another idiot I see.

Was your business shut down?

Do you have a business?

do you even have a job?

Grocery stores are hiring? Whew. Man I'm so glad those 10 dollar an hour jobs are going to help out a bunch of Americans paying $1300 a month in rent. I guess they can eat cat food they bought at the dollar tree. Otherwise, I don't see those numbers working. Do you live with your parents or something? You have any idea how expensive life is outside of your bubble? Your brain is a potato.

Aldi has a sign up that says $14.50 an hour, if you cant survive on that something is wrong.

You make sacrifices during hard times

My monthly expenses are your yearly

So whats the narrative now, shut down the economy and call people who cant work now suddenly, lazy?

I think it’s unfair for those of us who make more than $75,000 to not get our $600.

Wow you are wrong about everything here. First off, I'm not a socialist. I'm a capitalist with common sense that government transfer payments are the right thing to do for people who have been screwed over by the government shutting down entire parts of the economy. How long do you think capitalism will survive if we ignore a large part of the population who can't earn their crust right now? How long are we going to enjoy the fruits of capitalism when we got millions of hungry and destitute zoomers beating down our doors and taking our shit? We ignore these people at our own peril. You are an idiot thinking government transfer payments is some socialist Bernie Sanders/AOC crap. Are millions of Veterans, who have served our country honorably who get government transfer payments in the form of VA disability compensation, are they whiny socialists in your opinion too? You're a dumb ass to pigeon hole pragmatic ideas to single ideologies.

REPAID? Ha ha. Clearly, you have no idea how the Fed and the US Dollar work. It's call quantitative easing. Much of our national debt is on the Fed's balance sheet. Much of our national debt is merely an accounting entry. You probably don't bitch about them doing this to finance a 20 year war that's going no where or to bail out banks, but to help our own people.

I am an essential worker who hasn't missed a paycheck, but I have ability to put myself in other American's shoes who don't have that blessing.

At least you owned some "socialists" today, Cleetus.

I wanted to reply earlier but I was a little too sick. You came across as angry and really mean, that's just what I personally felt trying to read your post, I even got a little scared. Understandable in the modern climate of 'fuck you shithole die motherfucker politics'. Your point didn't come across well. Is it, that we are all in this together and we as individuals will get wrekt by Jeff Bezos and pals, if we don't chip in to make the world a better place to give young babes the opportunity to grow strong and independent?

Anyway, god bless, and have a Happy winter if we don't talk on this subject again. I'm hoping things will get better for all of us.
