Though if they were to do it, there should be an announcement that goes along with it. That the money is only to be used by and for the people who receive it. It isn't just to be handed over to whoever they may owe money to.

    They had a thing on the news when the first round of stimulus checks went out. They showed a mother and daughter who handed over their stimulus checks to their landlord. Do you know what they were a few days later? HUNGRY!!! And that was probably FAR from an isolated incident. That's just not right. That just won't do! So please write your congressman and tell them that they should do at least just as well as Trump in that regard. And not letting people use the money for their personal needs just isn't right.
    you should be anti lockdown and anti sending jobs to china if you really cared about americans.

    i am, in principle, opposed to The State providing for us and encouraging socialism. That doesn't mean I won't accept a stimulus check. I will, however, use it responsibly. I'll pay bills. Maybe I'll donate a small part of it to Wounded Warrior Project. But I will not tell my creditors to buzz off so I can buy a case of beer.
    You don't actually think leftist cunts give a fuck about the landlord do you? They think the landlord is a rich slumlord keeping their tenants in poverty while they live on their yachts. These cunts haven't got the first fucking clue.

    Isn't it fascinating that the (R)s don't want to provide anything to struggling individuals, yet are more than willing to bailout their already-rich buddies? I hope this time around they include penalties and fines for those who take the funds when they don't need them, like those grifter mega-churches did last time.
    Maybe one day when COVID is over I could find a good place that lets people excavate minerals. Of course, that would cost money too. Even when my hobby was making fresh bread I still paid for it from supplies we already had and the pounds gained from carb overload.

    A check is a big boost to the economy increasing demand. That is what demand is, people spending and buying. That is what increases jobs. The company has to keep up with demand so they hire more people or expand. McConnel and Trump do not care about any of that. This is a great opportunity to usher in the plutocracy. More money and power to the wealthy. People are expendable.

    Agreed. I'm not a lawyer so I can't tell you all the legal ins and outs, but you're smart enough to know there will always be some fucking lawyer representing some pissed-off group of people whining about why they didn't get their money. The law on this has to be solid.

    Sure. I’ll take it. Biz still projecting half million in revenues but every penny counts when you got nothing right?

    Shame that Hawaii wants to prolong their self inflicted 40% unemployment. It’s what you get when you vote democrat.

    Don’t follow the followers folks. Start a recession proof business. College is for the weak. Unless you’re playing ball or something.

    I can sympathize with you, but, the moratorium will eventually end and you will either get your money- OR YOU CAN KICK THEM OUT TO THE CURB.

    Just be glad, you are not one of the ones that will be kicked to the curb.

    I am not so worried about people like you- But rather worried about those who will be kicked to the curb.

    True! But, I am sure the moratorium is pretty rough on the land barons and slumlords! LOL!

    Perhaps next time they will vote for a president that does his/her best to mitigate a pandemic- INSTEAD OF PROMOTE IT FOR SELF GAIN AND ALLOW IT RUN AWAY OUT OF CONTROL!

    THEY CAN BLAME DONALD TRUMP FOR THEIR LOSS!
