Yeah, had to convince friends to have the taxes held out of their unemployment even though they didn't want to. Had to explain how it worked. Since the $600 ran out, they are feeling the squeeze. They were hoping that $400 would kick in, but as it turns out, it is actually only $300. That is putting most of them on a very tight budget each month. These guys used to work in the oilfield and were making killer money...

Let this be a lesson to the young pedes to not spend too frivolously and to build a nest egg little by little, one step at a time.

this is what we try to tell everyone. friends earn $1k and they spend $2k. they think we are crazy because we have a cushion for ourselves in case things go to hell. and we think they are crazy because they do not.

How will people be able to travel to riot or buy molotov cocktail supplies if they save all of their Soros money?

Well, those people treat it like an expense account. they need to spend it all to make sure the funds keep flowing.
