How does the stimulus bullshit make you feel? * 1
    #27103603 - 12/23/20 06:40 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

There are quite a few whimsical nonsensories going on here..

The world outside the US has been getting monthly help from their gov.

Trump is acting like a 16 year old girl on her period by going back and forth.

There's some major pay outs that do not directly effect us.

And now the big whopper...

We were moments away from getting a whopping 600.00 :loldongs: but trump decided to intervene and say he will not sign this new package unless we get 2k.

Please forgive me if I got some of these facts wrong for I am only a man. A strong man. A sexy man. A man man.

But yeah. How do you feel about all the fuckery going on?

Trump will sign it, and if he doesn’t his veto will be overrode anyway.

He’s only saying the 2k thing to score points, knowing McConnell would never actually let it happen. If Trump cared all he had to do was send a single tweet in the past 9 months, instead he waited until the new bill is already through so he could make it look like he actually cared about people, with real no risk of having to bail out those who need it.

$600 is less than 1/3rd of my rent, for one month. Luckily I’m okay financially at the moment but idk how that is supposed to do anything to help the millions of people right now who aren’t.

I think its great for stimulating consumer spending at a time when there would otherwise be a serious downturn due to the pandemic as it seems any time we give these people money they turn around and bend over backwards to spend it as fast as the get it. People who are out of work have been getting alot of help thru the states unemployment programs which are often already quite robust. I think from what we saw last time 2000 is too much money to just hand everyone at once honestly. That not how stimulating an economy works. It'd be nice if we could give everyone a billiondy dollars but that actually would be like the collapse of the economy or something :shrug: theres alot of political horseshit flying around right now. Try not to get caught up in it just do you bit for the country so we can pull thru this. Remember I'm pulling gor yah. we're all in this together.

600 won’t do anything for spending or the non-stock market economy, the vast majority of it will go to partially paying off back rent and debt interest

I was under the impression there was substantial amount of the relief bill allocated toward bailing out all the people who weren't responsible enough to keep up on thier rent during the eviction moratorium. And I guess also the likely small minority of people who legitimately couldn't afford it :shrug:

Sure, all those people who couldn’t work because the place they worked closed and they lost their income source were simply irresponsible.

$600 back in stimulus money is not a “bailout”.

Thats one way theyre trying to paint it yah. I saw a bunch of those fake bill things on Facebook where they cherry pick shit from other bills to make it seem like the dems or whoever is trying to hide a bunch of crazy shit on a bill that has been put together and every part argued about for month on months.

The 25 billion in rental relief is the eviction bail out bud. The 600 is just dick towel santy money for people to spend. It was never meant to be anything else.

Oh, I don't go on Facebook. But the bill is 5000 pages long and there is definitely stuff in there that has fuck all to do with Covid stimulus. A new felony for illegal streaming for profit for example.

It's a stimulus package not a relief package. The film industry is hurting.

25 billion doesn’t even cover the back-rent already owed, how is it supposed to also cover future months and prevent evictions? Especially when a large portion of people don’t qualify for it...

We don’t have money for people who can’t pay rent because of a pandemic, yet on the first stimulus we essentially let businesses owned by millionaires/billionaires like Kanye West and Jake Paul write checks to themselves. Washington’s handling of pretty much everything to do with this pandemic from the start has been ass-backwards.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/11th_Panchen_Lama_controversy

https://popculture.com/trending/news/covid-19-relief-bill-features-unrelated-section-pertaining-dalai-lama-reincarnation/



Panchen lama searches for and chooses the next dalai lama after the dalai lama dies.

The daili lama has always been found in tibet. When the former panchen lama died in the
70s or 80s, the chinese government took it upon themselves to kidnap and jail
the new panchen lama when he was a child. He's been living in chinese custody for 30
years.

The chinese are waiting for the dalai lama to die so they can have their brainwashed
panchen lama search and find the new dalai lama outside of tibet which would
turn the buddhist faith in their favor.

It's actually a truly crazy story. The dalai lama has even threatened to not
reincarnate so as to thwart the chinese government in their goal.

Wow that’s quite the disengenuous spin on what Klobuchar said.

Let’s be clear. Trump had months to demand $2000 payments in this bill. The bill was negotiated by people in his administration. It’s trumps job to get HIS party in line. This is total chaos because trump has completely ignored everything except his election grievances. He’s done absolutely no work, and now that the ugly work of compromise is done, he just walks in and acts like the hero demanding shit the democrats have been demanding for months.

If this bill doesn’t get signed by Saturday, when all the benefits of the first Covid relief bill expire, americans will be fucked. That’s what klobushar is talking about.

Let’s see if trump takes up pelosis offer to pass an ammendment for $2000 in the bill.

We don't give a shit about the rich people.  They are rich off the sweat off everyone else's back.  They just were born into better circumstances 70% of the time.  The bill should be 2k and trump shouldn't be trying to save face now

Thats not what I said koods yah ass. I'm saying as long as your just handing out money everyone with in reason should get it. What was wrong with the cut off they did last time? No ultra rich people got money calm the fuck down. Just cuz people have a decent amount of money doesn't mean they didn't have to come out of pocket or werent covid effected working people. Alot of these people work very hard for the country and honestly to me deserve it just as much.

Because that is not how economics work. When you are poor you spend nearly all your money. When you are rich you take that $1200 and put it in the bank.

Most people even if they're relatively well off when the government hands them a check they do go oh let me put this extra money in the bank. The go " great now I can have a TV or dick towel money to blow for the vacation" or whatever crap theyre buying at their income level. They spend it trust me most people have already spent it in their minds. Its just human nature koods. :shrug:

You’re thinking like a poor person. The reason these people aren’t poor is because they don’t just go and spend money when they get it.

And extra money goes into the bank, or to make an extra mortgage payment, or into the retirement fund. It doesn’t go to a new TV. It’s this difference in thinking about money that allows rich people to accumulate wealth.

That and not having their housing costs go to paying a landlord's mortgage, and various other shit like that. If your income is low enough relative to the cost of living, saving all your extra pennies is never going to make you rich.

Yeah, I'm doin all right in life, last stimulus I donated to a local food bank.  This one I'll likely find another local charity to donate it to.  Doesn't mean I couldn't use the money, I could student loans, bought a new car etc.  I can cover that with my wages though, rather find a small charity with little to no administrative budget and 90%+ of the money goes to the people the charity serves/

This people aren't the kind of rich where they have everything and money is no object. Again trust me they buy an awful lot of crap and spend. You really think theyre gonna go wow $600-1200 thats a chunk of change that goes into a retirement fund.

My godmother just died. This woman worked for the phone company as an operator, she never married and retired 40 years ago. Her estate is worth over $5 million dollars. The way you spend your money makes all the difference when you have a relatively average income.

I'm not saying that some people wouldn't save a free $600. I'm just saying alot maybe most people wouldn't even if they made 100k a year. Dropping it in some fund is technically kinda spending it anyway. Its injected into the economy. :shrug:

Like I said before, you just don’t understand how financially successful people think. I know you find it hard to believe that people won’t just blow that check but it’s true

They (researchers) actually did a study on this that was quite well done.  The conclusion were people with money take a long term view of money (I'E what are the opportunity costs of spending now versus saving/investing for later.  Lower income people were far more likely to have the belief you spend it right away and not take a long term view.  I'll try to find the link.

Can't find link but lot's of papers on difference of money mentality between poor and wealthy.

Oh I only read to the two checks part and became livid. Trumpy will get us more money watch. Its the art of the deal. They come in with the low ball $600 you hit them with the 2000 then you finesse them back and settle at $1200. You always just have to go through the motions on these things. The dance. Trump is a master at finessing when it comes to deals. Unbelievable.

Poor people typically don't save because their income is minimal and any disposable portion of that is even smaller if it exists at all. Of course you are going to be more likely to save if you have a high enough income that saving pays substantially, vs having some minimal amount over subsistence that could go towards a small entertainment budget or a meager nest egg. But at least whatever small amount of money you save will at least grow in buying power just as fast as a richer person's would, right? Or maybe not.

Poor people are such idiots for buying Christmas presents too. But such assholes if they don't, what a bunch of deadbeats, am I right?

In todays world having money in brick and mortar savings devalues it due to inflation. 
You have to make the money work for you. So if you have 6k in savings it is wise to take 4 out and invest it somehow via the stock market/index funds or start a business.

Name of the game is to diversify, gold, stocks, funds, property, savings, business.

Online banking also has better rates so many have moved there savings there.

Of course it takes money to make money and there is no such thing as getting rich quick unless you hit the jackpot off the stock market lottery. Then there is insider trading,,,,,

The down side, each year people have to consume more than the last to keep the investors happy and the game rolling.

I can grantee on one side the stimulus goes into investments, on the other it goes to the electronics division at the best buy, amazon or Walmart. Then sheepel get to be entertained with there 50 inch tv while the bank takes there land. Then an real estate investor ether flips the house or rents it out.

In profits alone, this year bezos could give each and every on of his employees a 100k bonus and still be ahead. Instead he hired the pinkerton's to spy and break up any union activities to protect his investment. :schadenfreude:

This is not called the biggest transfer of wealth in modern history to sound cheeky, it's the reality.

You don't think of all the angles tho. Your looking at the little picture with all this talk of index funds and junk bonds. Imagine the money your missing out on due to loss of productivity from lack of leveraging an espresso machine heavy profilio. Your pretty much losing money every second you don't have one.

You people are so fucking cynical you can’t even imagine regular people who try to make a living online will be ripped off the second they have any success, and unlike big studios, they don’t have the resources to enforce the law themselves. It’s the little guy that needs the government on their side.

poor people spend the money immediately for a very good reason. they have a List of Shit that Needs to be Bought Last Year/Decade. (depends on how long they've been hovering at the broke line.)

new clothes because they've been wearing the same stuff for years or decades and it's falling apart. (jackets, gloves, a new belt, shoes...etc.) car repairs. computer parts that need sore upgrading or downright replacing. an appliance for the kitchen that would make a serious improvement to quality of life...like a microwave. a trip to the eye doctor, or contact lenses because they've been stretching theirs for months when they shouldve been replacing them every month instead of every 4.

this is the sort of reason why poor people immediately spend extra money when they get it. not because they are terrible at saving...but because they are extremely efficient at triaging. they have to be to survive on such poor funds. if you were to give them enough extra funding, and make it a reliable source of extra income, chances are a lot of them would go on a shopping spree for a while to clear said list, then many would start saving up and investing because they know better than to spend well outside their means.

That was one of the things I noticed after the first stimulus check... The local Target wasn't sold out of flatscreen TVs, but the rack of socks and underwear was completely empty. Fucking socks and underwear.

lol, i was looking at an LED screen when the last stimulus check came for my computer because my old one is like 10 years old now, but it was like 200 bucks and i was like...hmmm....

...then my computers 10 year old PSU went out a week after and there went that idea because you can't run a computer without a source of power. so that kind of made the decision for me lol. i may be poor, but i seem to have an uncanny knack for having money when i actually need it.

now if only i also had money for stuff i didn't need for literal survival as well, just for fun... :lol:

So 600.00 passed with the promise of more later. I am not political so I'm just going to copy paste what my wife said about more money later..

Hot sexy wife said, "We're only getting $600. If we get more it will be if we win the 2 Senate seats, in the runoff for Georgia.... And after Bidens inauguration in late January."

So yeah, whatever that means..

Something I do find funny though.

Both xbox and ps5 are a few dollars short of 600.00.. is the US in bed with playstation?

I'm glad Trump voiced a plea for 2k per person,think he did it for political chess only but possibly some sense of failure and trying to do better but then I remember the HOURS of stimulus talks I watched over a 6 month period with Steve Munichin the representative of the Trump admin in the talks arguing that anything over 600$ would bankrupt us and disincentivise working which I've said many times now because it is incredibly frustrating but I guess cathartic when the people you're arguing with agree with he idea you had in the first place and try and take credit for it. That's how I feel about the process.

There's not even any for the general public to buy. Every tiny restock they have at whatever store, they're gone immediately. And that will probably remain the case for at least a couple of months. Maybe more, who knows.

Oh no, there's millions more on standby. This was the plan all along.. send out a small amount, make it extremely hard to acquire one, bring up 2000.00 package last minute, and pass it out of nowhere.

If they pass this and start actually issuing the funds, and if all of a sudden every retailer magically has a new and plentiful stock of PS5s and Xboxes at the same time, then I might think you're onto something :lol:

That wasn't the plan the plan was to pass a fucking government funding budget and at something the covid checks got stapled to it so it could be more leveraged as everyone knows the public would have a shitfit over whats in it. Then after all kinds of back and forth and horseshittery and largely cuz the Republicans dont want to give poor people hand outs they came out with the $600 turd. Then trumpy tried to put his name on it by saying he wasn't gonna sign it cuz not enough money so he can be the guy who gets us the money. Then he was pressured into signing it and did. No the dems are gonna throw it back in thier face by pushing out a bill for the more substantial amount they wanted to begin with which they're prob gonna shoot down. :shrug:

You're not catching what I'm throwing. Let me simplify it.

There are 100 ps5s available since launch. All 100 were purchased.

Oh, no. Low stock. Guess I'll just have to wait.

2000.00 stim passes.

1000 ps5s are pulled from their reserve and now Everyone has one!

All that money goes back into PS pockets because that was the plan all along.

The 2nd stimulus relief bill is another nail in the coffin for the current paper fiat currency. It will be devalued up until.the point of the great reset or whayever where a mass of debt is written off and a conversion to an electronic trackable currency. Brick and mortar is done, mom and pop, done.
The debt vs. Overall Stimulus potential of 600 is lobbsided and a terrible idea if we we're actually making an atempt at sustaining the dollar. This experiment is done I believe. Its that or default to china.

Digital currency as it is has limitations rendered in the amount that presently exists and is produced. And why it is surging past 30k notes because that exact dynamic and money being uncontrollably printed out. It aswell as gold is a hedge agaisnt fiat currency.

As a small business owner I make about that per client, per month, before the government insisted I stop operating.

To be fair that waiter prob spit in his food. Also I typically only tip like 10-12% out of principle unless the service calls for more and i used to live off tips. Most millenials and minorities don't even tip at all. Proper tipping is a delicate art. If u was in a place two days from.new years and VP I would certainly drop something more than a finsky. This time of year you hand out money at your spots all over town. Unless however the guy spit in ur food cuz ur VP :shrug:

The 2nd stimulus relief bill is another nail in the coffin for the current paper fiat currency. It will be devalued up until.the point of the great reset or whayever where a mass of debt is written off and a conversion to an electronic trackable currency. Brick and mortar is done, mom and pop, done.
The debt vs. Overall Stimulus potential of 600 is lobbsided and a terrible idea if we we're actually making an atempt at sustaining the dollar. This experiment is done I believe. Its that or default to china.







The wealthy have pocketed nearly all of the extra currency that the fed has printed. That means it will remain out of circulation as they continue to hoard untold sums of wealth. All this has done is make the rich richer, it will have little bearing on the value of the dollar in the long term.

Also, sustaining the value of the dollar means very little to people who can't afford food or a place to live. Just like the stock market is meaningless to something like 45% of Americans simply because they can't afford to own stocks, the value of the dollar is without relevance when you can't afford to survive.

Hes talking about tanking the world economy and plunging shit into some kinda dark cyber age which wouldn't be good for anyone LOL. Or like the digital dollar which is already happening. I just think he needs to learn more about the central banking system. I mean you people act like the country having a high degree of wealth is a bad thing. I mean people in other places would just kill you. Rich people aren't hording piles of gold coins in thier castle. Its nearly all invested so everyone can do bigger and better and the world can move forward. Everyone that spent it on crap well thats just gonna go into a landfill. It goes back to the whole accumulating wealth thing koods was talking about.

Scarcity of the dollar hasn’t changed though. There is more of it, but it is kept largely out of circulation since the wealthiest have hoarded it.

The wealth in this scenario was literally created by printing more money basically for the rich to hoard. The problem isn’t that there are rich people, it’s that the system serves them while they represent a minuscule percentage of the population.
