The story will always be the same as long as Republicans have a hand in it.

Buy your keyboard, consoles and computer parts now, once those checks roll out it will all be toast.
Granted some of these are already hard to find/get but it will only get worse once those check hit bank accounts.

I do hope people eventually rise up and burn this corrupt **** to the ground. Thing is people are stupid and will inevitably misdirect the anger on themselves and their own community while the rich continue to observe from afar in their towers. They got the rise up part right, just too dumb to know what direction to fire.

I'm sure its not worse than british pound  ;) - after latest new covid strain, closed borders (https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/pound-plunges-against-euro-dollar-23199264) and brexit deal issues, pound and UK stocks going down like a Polish Tupolew  :))

Which is absolutely silly since it's a lousy $600.

Yup $600 isn't a "stimulus", let alone wont supplement any household income much at all.  Sure I will end up getting around $1800 from it due to myself, wife, and son - but it will cover the expenses we have been needing to catch up on (since new GPU's are a zero stock and I will not buy from a scalper).

You are either incredibly stupid or incredibly ignorant, or possibly just trolling for a response. I am giving you one although you do not deserve it.

There are certainly SOME democrats who care.  Point is though, in general, few and not enough.

On the repooplican end, well, demonstrably they're 100% assho's.
