I hope this time around you get it without it being stolen from some renegade postal worker! Or better yet, have it direct deposited. That's how my mom got hers.

But in all honesty, the amount is so small compared to all the loss everyone has suffered.

So then after the 600.00 is spent, (which will be all of 2 seconds),
then what?



back to square one...


lat time I got the visa card with my first name, partners last name.
that was effed up.
and had I not seen a news program, as they had stated that a lot of people thought it was a fake visa card and were throwing them out, I remembered the "Network" name and when i saw it, I knew what it was, but if I didn't see that program, I would have tossed it.
Wonder why some got it direct deposit, some checks and some visa cards.


and this stimulus should have of been done already, this is a no brainer and didn't need to pass this or that, everyone should have of been on board with it.


we have all azzholes in our government.

You me and everyone I know.
Wall street bonuses record high lately. Middle class dying out for decades. Work harder they say to someone working 60 hours a day. Meanwhile Medicaid scams and medical offices are milking millions for themselves robbing this country.
Honest work is a fools game.

Thank You. Do you know I just got the new re-issued one last week! I did sign up for direct deposit so here's hoping they use it this time.

$600 is a joke. That’s like 1/2 a room in da bronx for a month. Fudge that $600.
Or groceries for 2 months.

Everyone made fun of Trump two weeks ago when he pushed for $2000 per person.

if dems win the senate seats in georgia... those thanking trump for a paltry $600 right now, will seethe and go into cardiac arrest, when the next bill is passed

So single people making over 75K won't get anything? Or will they just get less than the $600, because I think they did a sliding scale type thing the last time around.

Families with lots of kids are going to make out like bandits with this new bill.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/20/ever...us-checks.html

Those Orthodox Jewish families with four, five or more kids will get $600 each on top of what parents (married couple get $150k). That is some serious money....
