If you have a 2 working parents you'd only get 1k? We are doing it better in Canada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not proportional and is the same reason when people claim some European countries have it “figured out” They look dumb because it doesn’t 1:1 transition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JonDnD 2,608 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Gov would want people to spend , and most people will probably but most should save. Isn't a staggering amount of America living paycheck to paycheck ? I read something like the average American cant afford a unexpected 500 dollar bill . That's crazy.

DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 We need to start opening things up, keep the hot spots as is and in places where there's virtually nothing allow them to start working again. This whole thing has been a bit of a shit show, there's no growth where things have opened up and the death projections keep slipping further and further downward by the day. Work places just need to enforce common sense policies and get back to it. This level of government dependence and the reaction is ridiculous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If she’s living p2p she shouldn’t live in such a big house... but people have their own priorities Quote Link to post Share on other sites
