Buying food with money I earn isn't relief to me. The government shut down my jobs. My jobs rely on mass gatherings. Nobody's plan - not the federal, not the TX keep government in control plans call for a return to mass gatherings. The government took away my income, and now everyone but me gets aid with money that comes from the taxes I pay.
It is relief when a gallon of milk cost $2 instead of $5. A pound of beef is $4 instead of $8. It is relief instead of jacking food prices way tf up when restaurants are closed down and only grocery is buying in bulk
Wouldn't that lower prices if there is only demand from grocery stores and not grocery stores + restaurants? Although everyone still needs to eat so I can't see the overall demand for food changing too much.
Our entire system of governance has let us down. Communists took over in the early 1900s and we have been a communist nation ever since. To think anything otherwise is to be ignorant of history and if you faggots don’t get your act together getting out of this shit is an impossibility
TX sure cucked hard like a bitch
Maybe it's the demographic war you lost 20 years ago and the cities turning TX to shit. We are all doomed anyway, just enjoy the ride.
Prices across the board are down about 20-30%. And when our profit margins are about 2-5%, a 20% drop is massive. My small family farm and our 3-4 employees are looking at losses of well over 100k this year alone. Not good. Unfortunately most of the relief always goes to the corn farmers which kind of sucks because I get ridiculed for taking "government handouts" when in reality we rarely ever see any of it ourselves because it goes to a small group of politically connected farmers.
I work for Major League Baseball, NBA, NFL, XFL, MLS at their games. There's no sign of any return to mass gatherings at sporting events. Looks like MLB income for the year is gone. XFL is out of business - lost half of that. NBA ended early - lost two months and the playoffs.
No worries, I also tutor. Oh wait, schools shut down and now ended for the year.
I filled out unemployment - it came back with more info needed, call the tele center. Call the tele center - every day, 6 hours a day redialing and redialing with the same result. The call center is too busy, go online. Online tells me to call, call center tells me go online.
Ah, but there's some money from the relief. IRS site shows it cannot determine the status.
LET ME WORK. Governor Abbot's plan is a government stays in control plan, not a back to work plan.
Don't worry - property tax increased by 50% this year, home insurance increased by 100%, my health insurance is cancelled because they, not I, made a mistake processing an auto payment. Hey, that's OK, auto insurance is cheaper...nope, they raised the rate in the middle of the policy term - I'm not driving anywhere, but the company raised the rate.
Neighbor: "It's about time we replaced the fence, Let's each pay 50%." Yeah, great time to talk about that.
Nope. I am complaining about not being able to work. I want to work. I want my jobs re-opened. I WANT TO WORK. Before shut down, I worked 80+ hours a week. I enjoy working, and the income pays my bills. Read my lips you lying leftist - I want to WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"
If the government is spending 6.5 trillion in aid, and everyone else is getting something, I want my tiny piece. I have to pay the taxes. I will have to live with the massive inflation.
Everyone on my block has received their check. I have not. IRS status shows "Payment Status Not Available" - the FAQ indicates that means I am not eligible.
Two of my neighbors are still working - their businesses/jobs were not shut down. They received the payment.
I cannot work - my jobs shut down, but no payment.
You buy food don't you?

Those prices are going to go up with inflation caused by the huge spending.

The border areas are all Democrat now thanks to the influx of illegals.
so why are farmers in need of relief? did the plants get sent home too?
Farmer here, maybe I can help.

Their biggest customers are restaurants and those are gone.
What do you do for a living? Did :(

It's hard, I've got no income either and pretty much no relief.
But imagine the business owners with five or six figure losses per week.
We don’t empower them, they only empower themselves under the guise of helping us, why would they care?
Whining about not getting government aid like a pathetic liberal?
Take that shit back to reddit. You are not a conservative.

80 million Americans have received their tax relief checks. You will get yours soon.
Whining about the President prioritizing our food supply is retarded.
