How does the stimulus bullshit make you feel? 1

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 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 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

My impression is that it's a huge omnibus bill with a bunch of random stuff in it.

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.
