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

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.

This is also causing the US dollar to plummet against other currencies.

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.
