You will say the same thing to people who lost their businesses because of the government lockdowns and lack of support?

What the government did made no sense, and they screwed a lot of people over. I'm not trying to make this about me, I was just giving an example. Lots of people got screwed much worse than I did. Originally Posted by Strokey_McDingDong

I have so many people who owe me money now that I can't even keep track of them because their business has gone to shit and I'm covering their payroll. I don't really give a shit but I am paying their employees now so I understand the hardships.

I have a few bucks and I realize that I am fortunate. But I also realize that people are struggling so I loan a lot of money interest free because I'm not charging anyone interest if they are struggling. Just pay me the money back and we are good.

I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that the government did not handle this properly and screwed over a lot of people, and a measly 2k does not make up for it.

And without considering things like inflation and the possibility of that 2k actually taking money away from the working class, it is at least a token that people can look at as an example of the government actually giving a small shit about fucking them over.

These people can't handle much properly. These old geezers can barely even walk, let alone talk. How the fuck are a 78 year old and a 74 year old running for president? It's the dumbest shit I have ever seen. I could understand if it was at the bingo club; but this is fucking ridiculous.

Somebody's got to pay for this. The money doesn't come out of thin air. Why should I as a taxpayer have to dip into my pocket and pay people $2000 who don't need it?

Fair enough. That money should come out of some bullshit funding, though, and not from increasing our taxes.

God, the government is just so fucking horrible.

Fuck this stimulus thinking. This is not a nanny State!
Many last time just went and bought tv's or went on vacation. The beaches were full right after the last checks went out. If anyone starves in this country with all of the resources thats out there. Thats on their lazy asses. If folks cant afford their rent/mortgage, thats on them! Many jobs to be had or a second job would help their financial short comings! I support evictions of these folks. Besides in todays culture they will have better resources for help if theyre homeless!
Socialism is already here and entrenched.

I would typically agree, but the retarded government hard screwed a lot of people out of work and closed a lot of businesses.

I feel like they should provide something to not appear as complete nut jobs who have gone mad with power, but they won't, because they really are complete nut jobs who have gone mad with power.

It shouldn't be paid for by increasing our taxes, though, and they shouldn't just start printing money. They should defund the military or defund some dumb fucking SJW bullcrap, or stop sending so much money to other countries.

But nothing logical will get done. They will probably just start printing money and raising our taxes, because they are completely awful.
