The United States is the only advanced democracy not to give direct and substantial cash relief to its citizens during this pandemic. Perhaps just let that sink in.😞

Our elected and paid leaders have completely failed us. The jig is up, it’s all a sham to steal our money and never help us; not even in our time of dire need

In Germany this wasn't even a debate between the different political parties. The govt told people to stay home & businesses to close & then appropriated the funds (if businesses take govt money they must keep their employees on the books). No discussion. It just got done.

It’s despicable. There’s no excuse in the world not to give us cash assistance from our own money! Enough weapons of war and foreign aid.

Let it sink in next time you all vote. I have an overall distrust of politicians and white politicians even more so but I honestly believed that @marwilliamson would have been the best thing to happen to America in a long time.

$600 🤦? Like many in Europe, I’ve been in and out of furlough since March on 100% salary, up to 80% paid by the (UK) government. American workers are poorly treated at the best of times. Long hours, poor pay, paltry holiday. Now this? WTF.

We have an unemployment system that the cash relief is coming in through. Every week. And is the brunt of the relief. Not everyone is without work because of the lockdowns, and those who aren't don't need the relief, and are still getting the $600 stimulus.

The US is not an advanced democracy. It's an oligarchy. Oligarchs don't care about the peasants as long as they pay their taxes and vote for the Oligarch Wall Street party system.
