Yes, I do realize that. My family's taxes are funding it too. The people who I heard bitching were working class -- had their hours slashed thanks to this "pandemic" (or had their jobs lost). So, the people this was supposedly for...still hadn't received it.
They got their first stimulus on time, but the second round got held up...and then, you know, Joe's promises. The right or wrong of the stimulus is another topic, but if people are going to have their jobs fucked with and then they're supposed to get that stimulus and don't...probably shouldn't jack them. (and we both know who is responsible for the said jacking with)
I'm not in a state that's pro-employment. And I'm in a part of that state that is even more overlooked than the rest of said state. The area was picking up 2-3 years ago...it's back to snafu now.
You're preaching to the choir. My husband and I are doing quite all right. Just reporting on what I've heard in my little neck of the woods (and I do feel for a lot of these people -- they were working and life was on the upswing, until last spring; a lot of them voted for Trump too, so there's that...of course some didn't and now they're finding out what a fuck up it was). The salt would be delicious if there weren't so many caught up in it that didn't really deserve this.
Nonetheless...this whole stimulus cat rodeo the Dems have entangled themselves in is definitely getting the attention of a lot of people, and hey they were the ones who coined the term "never let a crisis go to waste".
