I still don’t know how some people are going to make it without the $2k/mo checks coming in. The eerie, almost surreal silence around it now is the sound of people’s hope turned into despair turned into fury turned into hopelessness turned into resignation turned into tears.

We haven't even got the $1400 much less $2000 a month. The US Government in its current form is 100% corrupt and every politician and deep state employee needs to be fired and we start all over from stratch.

The Congressional committee process at work. This is why we need knowledgeable experts to get stuff done. Yes, governance process should be updated, streamlined, simplified, made more democratic. But that’s not where we are now.

There will be no $2,000 checks. There probably will be no $1,400 checks and maybe there will be, say, $800 checks. It’s a Dutch auction at this point.

I never received the first check, am now underemployed due to covid and can't get through to anyone at the IRS about my return.

Time to pray for a miracle? You know how this starts. Release all grievances and see where the perception of universal innocence takes you.

It is crazy, how we have to beg for crumbs, in a first world country.

$2000 isn’t going to be enough. We’ve got breadlines and Hoovervilles.
