Imagine what America would be like now if every adult knew they’d be getting $2k/mo (retroactively to when the pandemic began) & $1k for every child. Imagine how much panic, suicidal despair, domestic conflict & hunger would fall away. And be clear: we have the money to do that.

Think about how much spending, saving, and debt payment would be made. The more it goes on the more it becomes clear that the powers that be WANT us in debt.

"why not abandon your life, friends, and family, then quit your job, buy airplane tickets, pay for moving fees, pay for a visa or new citizenship, pay for rent in a new city, then hope you get a new job?"

I’d be able to get my dog’s teeth cleaned, buy Xmas gifts, I could pay off my credit card, and I’d have money to spare for paying back some students loans. I’d also be able to sleep better at night which would increase my performance in uni.
