There is something deeply cynical about this tweet; given the pandemic, these people should be receiving that $1400 every month. I don’t find the video inspiring; I find it heartbreaking.

The American Rescue Plan’s $1,400 checks will start going out as early as this weekend. Here’s how folks plan to use theirs:

$1400 should be $2000 a month. Retroactive for a year (since we’ve been in the pandemic since) @Christo13001294

$1400 for a 40-hour worker is equivalent to a month of work at $8.75. Add that to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 and you get $16/hr. Maybe we should just raise the minimum wage while we’re at it.

Is there an Emmy in Biden's future for these promotional videos?

It's as if everyone is on their knees giving thanks to dear leader under duress.

I agree. They kept saying this would get people out of poverty. Damn! Not even close! These checks are merely throwing crumbs to the poor.

Tone deaf is the descriptive I would use. Like those supposedly heartwarming stories in the news about a nurse adopting a baby because his parents couldn't afford the medical bills to care for him, or poor people donating money to cover other poor peoples medical bills.
