Hey, they're "giving" you $1400. You should be happy. (/sarcasm)

(Note: I would recommend everyone offered take the fucking money because it's all any of us not in the "secret cabal" are going to get :(. Save it wisely.)

Yes, $1400, and amount that will be worth $700, $140, $14 in the coming years as the Government continues to throw money around like it's going out of style and drive inflation all the way to Alpha Centauri.

But we will have a one world currency with digital certificates. Crypto is their end game.

If you had put your $1800 stimulus in Bitcoin it would currently be worth $10,253

And if you bet it all on 0 on the roulette table it would be $63,000.

Very easy to make good investments in hindsight.

Fuck... but who would gamble that? I mean, some people don't need the money and would happily gamble it away just for the thrill. I have stock in MVIS and even when it was 18 cents a share, I wouldn't have gambled 1800 on it, not knowing it would shoot up to 20+ dollars.

Bitcoin is sketchy in its own way. Sure, you could have got rich quick if you could tell the future on an arbitrary system of ones and zeros that some anonymous entity created on a computer so criminals could buy illegal substances. You could have also gotten rich by telling the future and investing in countless other options.

The issue is there is no backing to the currency. There are many who forgot the passwords to their wallets and have no way to gain access to lost fortune. China owns the majority of it so if the world accepts it, they have the majority of buying power. We don't know enough about the creator or what may happen with the currency in the future.

Finally, U.S. currency is basically the same thing, a virtual ledger. The only difference is that it has backing and can be forcibly manipulated. When the government gets desperate enough, they'll ban companies from accepting bitcoin transactions based on issues with taxing, tracking, etc. At that point Bitcoin only has it's initial value from 10 years ago, which is illegal transactions on the dark web. Basically worthless if you're not a criminal or interested in buying things on the black market through strangers on sketchy websites.

Yup. DO NOT keep money in the bank! Not savings at least.

With the way democrats want to artificially raise wages and cost of living, your savings will depreciate greatly in value.

I feel bad for those who saved $ their whole lives, just to see the possibility of their savings dip 50% in value over a single idea from Democrays.

As you said, invest in things that gain value along side inflation.

Gold and silver are good in my book. I think real estate is better, because let's say shit hits the fan.

Well, gold isn't too useful if the world fucks itself, is war torn, and all people want is a sack of rice, water, and ammunition.

That's where real estate is good, because EVERYONE needs a place to live!

Ammunition will be better than gold if shit happens.

Hell, those who invested in ammunition the past decade could sell for 5x+ what they paid a few years back!

I'm still buying at these insane prices, as I was not a customer before all this. The riots and mass violence scared me, as it was local to me in NY.

I drove down the street during some of our riots and looting, and saw mass looting first hand about 2 miles from my house.

My town borders a shit hole city. The town police kept out town completely safe and held it down! The city? Nope.

Although, even though we have a shit mayor, she accepted mass help from state police for the next night, and I drove through the city...

It was crazy! The quietest I've ever seen it in summer, quieter than when we have a true snow storm blizzard that's too dangerous to drive in!

Cops everywhere hiding, stationed every half mile with sirens flashing.

Hundreds of businesses blocked with vehicles, big rigs, ect. It was wild to see!

But all of that really showed me how quickly your life can be put in danger by randoms.

I had big Trump flags in front of my house on a busy main road in liberal NY.

Got tonssss of harassment. I took them down for the week during riots, as I didn't want to be an obvious target.

I put em back up afterword.

I even had a BLM cunt come to my house, and march in front back and fourth. Went out to yell at her, call the cops, ect.

She didn't break the law, but fuck that, she's coming to push my buttons.

If civil war happened, that shit would not be tolerated. They do things like this because they aren't afraid of us, and know we are peace loving people, who are not crazy, and will not hurt them for pushing our buttons.

Biden straight up said they were looking to “borrow” money from your savings.

I don’t trust any banks with him in charge.

That's what sling shots are for...someone is fucking around in front of your house? Go down the block...pop them with a few stingers...preferrably smooth pebbles as they won't penetrate...then dissapear around the back of the block into your back door.

Real estate only has value if the government enforces your claim. If all goes to hell, them your claim is only as strong as your weaponry

Ammo is a much better store of value imo.

The ammo shortage isn't getting better. Biden has promised to end online gun and ammo sales.

You can actually use ammo, unlike gold or bitcoin.

Or rice and beans. That shit will be just as expensive as gold when everyone is starving to death.

Dump it in GME! I put the last $600 check into AMC and made over 6k on it.

I wish I could dump it in GME. I just don't trust the market. I'm down 200 bucks on MVIS because the entire market is tanking. Nibkdy has faith in Joe. Meanwhile, China's market is booming.

Check out OCGN as well. Take advantage of the Left’s illogical fear of the virus and $20 billion in vaccine funding.

Weird that liberal states and or governors are opening right before this bill passes and people get money all at the same time.

Scalpers are going nuts.

We're going to start feeling the shutdown effects as a lot of cash starts chasing fewer goods...

We'll see if it its a quick or slow inflation...

If the government is willing to give you your own money back then take it. Can't believe people were saying not to take the first round of Covid relief

NomadicKrow2 10 points ago +10 / -0

The people who hate Trump, i encouraged them to send the checks back. Fuck 'em. The man tried to help and they kept shitting on him.

unashamed 8 points ago +8 / -0

Exactly! If they hated Trump, then they should stop enjoying his tax cuts. They’re free to continuing paying the difference to the IS Treasury.

9
Farnsworth 9 points ago +10 / -1

Agreed! As long as the government can afford to give billions to other countries, I will not complain about them giving us back some of our own money. As soon as they stop squandering our tax dollars, then I’ll start being concerned about our debt.

IvotedforTrumptwice 14 points ago +15 / -1

They’re not giving you back the money they stole from you. They’re printing new notes because they already spent everything else.

Light_HIV_Effect 4 points ago +4 / -0

People were taking the money, but mad (seriously) that Trump was cutting payroll taxes last year to try and help with covid relief since congress wasn't moving on the 2k Trump wanted to send out.

Once you cash that check, your household becomes federally funded. And the government now owns your ass. Too bad I cashed the first one without thinking about it that way.

GuyOnABuffalo 30 points ago +31 / -1

And if you don’t cash it they still own you.

Use it to buy an AR.

3D printer. Free Men Don't Ask glock frames. Need a dremmel, file, glock internal parts kit (buy rails separately) and slide. Regular PLA lasts about 1000 rounds. Can print in polycarbonate for a lasting frame. Do not sell or give these away.

Projectedsoulimage 15 points ago +16 / -1

How does cashing it mean the gov owns my ass? They take my money away. I'll take it back before they send it overseas or spend it on Dem cities.

The fed takes my money. Does that mean I own their ass?

I'm not following your logic.

MemeWarBoot 6 points ago +6 / -0

It 100% SHOULD mean you own their asses. Unfortunately the rot has spread quite far

LinWoodDidntKillHims 1 point ago +6 / -5

Think about it this way. If the government makes laws that are enforced on federally funded property or institutions such as mask mandates or no guns or any other bullshit they make up, well now your household is now federally funded if you accept the stimulus checks. And i know its outside the realm of normal rational thinking, but these are democrats and this is clown world. We have no rights if big brother says so.

In the case of taxation, a man’s surrender to the threat of coercion demonstrates no voluntary preference whatsoever for any alleged benefits he receives.

― Murray N. Rothbard

If you pay taxes, taking this money is just taking a very small portion of the amount extorted from you back.

You shouldn't feel bad about it.

The welfare state is the oldest con game in the world. First you take people's money away quietly and then you give some of it back to them flamboyantly.

If it's like the last "stimulus", you don't even get the $1500 if you've been working hard enough to earn more than the income cut off. But a homeless drug addict gets the full $1500.

NullifyAndSecede 5 points ago +5 / -0

They have lowered the income cutoff this round as well.

3
NomadicKrow2 3 points ago +4 / -1

They are competent enough to "target" the income brackets they want to give money to. But Joe says he doesn't want high earners to get student loan relief so he won't do anything in that regard. Joe, are you too fucking stupid to target student loan relief like the stimmy? He can't even do what his fucking party wants. What a loser.

I'm probably not the right person to ask as it's new to me as well. I used crowder's discount code at spartan armor and picked up the omega set:

Reasonably happy with it so far in terms of fit and finish.
