What are you buying with your $1200 check?

[VirtualLarry]

We have a couple. i took a huge chunk of my finger off with the newest one. I had planned to grab the holder chingadera when I got close to the blade...got there faster than I expected...

Uh-oh. Looks like @BoomerD is past the cut-off date, maybe close to expiration date...

Dammit Jim, that's a Mandolin Slicer, not a finger toy!

I'd ask if I can have your stuffs, but I don't want a lifetime supply of Depends...

Again, no $1200 check, but I can still brag about the cool things I buy, right?

I ordered this alternative translite for my Attack from Mars pinball machine. I debated between this and the limited "backglass" (same artwork but on a 1/8" thick piece of acrylic) but decided to save $100. They'll both look the same when they're installed.

Will there be another stimulus check?

The 1st round costs $22K per man, woman and child in this country. How much more stimulating can we take?

Yeah but $20.8K of that went to the right people. Stimulating the balls of the 0.001% will trickle down on us eventually.

Americans only got 1200 out of that 22000. The small business fund ran out of money practically right out of the gate before most of them even managed to get a claim in, so the difference definitely didn't go to them. Almost all of the stimulus went to the corporations and elites. Cut them out of it and another stimulus for working Americans becomes much more affordable. Wont happen though.

Why do we always get screwed like this? Seriously it doesn't matter what party this always happens.

Got my check in the mail today. I still don't understand why they mailed it instead of DD'ing it like they do our SS...but fuck it...I'll still take it.

I stopped and looked at a 2020 F-150 Lariat today. Pretty truck...$59,250 MSRP.
My first brand-new truck was 1976 Dodge Power Wagon with a 440 cu/in engine. $7500 out the door.

$7,500 in 1976 dollars = $34,726 in 2020 dollars.

 

[Sonikku]

$7,500 in 1976 dollars = $34,726 in 2020 dollars.

But that's ok because wages achieved parity over the same period right???

I think that's what I said.

@OILFIELDTRASH. Cause 99.9% of us aren't elites.

I'm pretty numb by now...I need LOTS of stimulating...

 

[NewSilkTurtle]

Is there supposed to be another $1200 payment, or just the one? Anybody know??

Gotta wait for the stock market to crash again. They were talking about 2 payments initially but changed their mind to one. Just get everyone to short the market and they might send you another one.

I hope people understand a huge chunk of this stimulus is going to the extra unemployment that the Fed Govt is kicking in. An Extra $600/wk for 39-weeks on top of the state benefit.

Upwards of $4K a month is what folks who are unemployed are recieving currently. So much money that many have no plans to return to work even if they are asked to come back.

At which point they should be cut off.

In most states, that's they WILL be cut off.

I gave a bit (offline) to this cat rescue group, because I know they do good work and are having a really rough time right now -- so many of their past donors are tapped out.
