What you gonna buy with that stimulus?

I went up to his house. 92 years old. 9:30. He came out for breakfast. At 11:00 AM. Bacon and eggs. Cocooa. Orange juice. My dad. The Best Christmas Ever........ Until next year.
1st roll of the dice my eldest brother received $125k... Used it to buy a Porsche Cayene "for the business", turns out he got a HUGE tax rebate for "investing in machinery for his business over X thousand lbs in bulk weight". His candy business does about 20-22 million per year.
Not even going to ask him about the 2nd roll of the dice. Might just puke in my mouth a bit again.
And yet, on the flip side, my exroommate from college, night manager at a theater in SF gets $600 when his rent is $2500 mo. He of course lives paycheck to paycheck, and like someone mentioned owes 7-8 months of back rent. He had the "luck" of already being on quarantine before the whole thing hit... Recovering from back surgery at home, to fix a work related injury, that took years in workmen's comp courts to get covered. Got the operation and they kicked him out of the hospital 2 days after, cause you know, his "insurance company wouldn't cover more".
Yeah, Dumberika is doing just greeeeaaaaat.
Rome fell too, not from external foe.
My other brother, contractor on the east coast, got nut. Won't talk to my eldest anymore because of the whole thing.
Politics splitting families, states, nay the entire nation, is NOT doing America any favors, yeah?
What ever happened to "united we stand, divided we fall"? When did that get thrown under the bus? Cause seems from the outside looking in that this should be the mantra the Untied States chants until they're United again.
Dreamer, I know. That's why I left so long ago. Cannot stand to see it getting torn apart thus, especially after what it once was.
Sad really. Stimulus indeed.

The stimulus memes are hilarious.
If you needed $600 to survive, you needed it 8 months ago.
Who fcking cares at this point?
We're on our own and we'll still have to pay our taxes in 3.5 months.

The average Red Chinese brobra earns less than a $1.00 a day. So we should be Thankful to our Democratic Overlords... Does anybody know if Red China sent out Covid Stimulus checks????
Extra bag of rice and lifetime essential status?
I kinda think the stimulus is a bribe/consolation to calm the savages, plus it's good for stores or retail, keeps that part of the economy hopeful looking, a way to fudge the numbers. Rose tinted glasses for the masses. Or blinders, less than a week's worth. American opium.

Those who were already financially stable that did not have their income affected will probably use it to buy toys, which is ironic because that is exactly what has been selling like crazy since this all started. Home gym equipment, backpacking/camping gear, bikes, surfboards etc have all been gangbusters. Which is great for those companies, however it's the businesses that we cannot patronize that need those extra dollars running through the cash registers the most.
$2000 worth of Disposable Income..... Life or Death for others.... Dudes... The problem with it being Disposable Income is that its all going to Amazon, WallMart, all of the big retail chains that Murica has ALLOWED to remain open.
At the expense of all of the Middle Class.....
We are being primed for Commuinism. The Elite ruling Party and the clueless masses....

Exactly! It does not help the people struggling the most and they are spending it at Walmart. Restaurants, travel and other tourism, it only helps those who are already managing to perservere.
[DISCLAIMER] I have a different definition of elite than is being widely used as a political dirty word lately but I know what they're trying to say,
Yeah we're definitely being directed toward or from some great change politically, socially, economically, even spiritually or lack thereof. It's scary but I'm on the way out, I think it's sad and reckless and most of the people yearning for this change mean well, but they see not the Ill of their ways.
People are buying surfboards, wetsuits video games?
Love my 40 y/o 92S Beretta. Solid hand gun. 15 shot mag and one down the pipe = 16 rounds.
My grandpa slept with one of these like a foot from his head, all his life.
He did not die in the home break in by angry natives that he talked about fearing, but sounded more like he wanted to happen.
They should have put the stimulus money on one of those restricted prepaid Visa cards moms send to their deadbeat children so they can’t splurge it on non-essential goods.
