As far as I can tell the GOP can't even figure out how to means test the stimulus or how to split it up.

Mr.AARP posted:I realize it'd be super-loving-complicated, but is there any mechanism that could be put in place to award large cash payouts to individuals that can demonstrate they are unemployed or underemployed with hours slashed due to this crisis? Same. Everyone who is unemployed, anybody who is struggling because their jobs are in the gig economy, they need the money way more than I do. My job is stable, give the money to out of work waiters, drivers, anyone in the hospitality or restaurant industry. Keep paying them monthly checks. Don't give me any free money. Not gonna lie, I'd certainly like it, but I dont NEED it, unless my girlfriend loses her job. Give it to the loving poor people. Edir: So how about setting up a system where you show your last year's W2, show what you made last year, and what your profession was.

Looks like we need to have means testing on this stimulus package.

The IRS has everyones' info if they filed for last year already, or will when they do file. If someone isn't filing because they're on VA or SS funbux, they can send it through those channels. The ones missing would be the unemployed that didn't file for last year, those that are homeless without a recent work history or bank accounts, and they can still cut a check to those people either in person at a SS office or send the money down to state and county level and hand it out to the homeless or routinely unemployed at the door or in an office in the county or city. There are plenty of easy ways to get the money out to people, they just don't want to give it to people because the average person doesn't give a poo poo who is in office.

Paying off student loans through the pell grant seems okay, but eliminating student loan debt across the board could've been done twice over already with all the money Trump&Co have given big businesses the past few weeks. Education should be free for anyone that wants it and can pass testing for it at the level they're pursuing. And if someone wants to test for something they didn't pass prior, send them to community college until they buff up their testing ability.

Just a reminder that the FED burned several billion dollars in a day just to save some billionaires gambling. I keep saying instead it trying to get millions of Americans dollars for poo poo, just have hundred of businesses unable to collect debts for this time period.

Y'all have caught on that Trump says a whole lot of things that never actually happen, right? To send out that money he's got to get it through Congress. His memorandum on evictions and foreclosures is only for FHA single-family homes. So that doesn't help renters or the wild vast majority of people who have a home. It's all window dressing.

Oh, haven't you heard, friend? Corporations are people too. Trump's been pumping this handout primer for the markets all week. It feels entirely like bullshit, like his wall or the trade war. That's why I keep saying any Trump bux I get are going to weed and weed growing accessories. Because it's not going to happen. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Mar 18, 2020 |

If you can collectively pay back $2.2 trillion then we can collectively take care of everyone on this goddamn rock.

Remember, Bush gave out money twice. In 2001 for $300 and 2008 for $600. Conveniently, I was audited both years and wound up paying more back than they gave out in funbux. But it has happened. Anyone else having lag on the awful app? It's loading slow and has died twice on my phone already. Lol. Lowtax is gonna need a corporate level bailout for the bandwidth bills.

I've actually been audited several times because my father is a goddamn idiot that used my name/info for pyramid schemes he had gotten into around those times. I don't know or remember most of the details, but it's one very good reason to never speak to him again. Of many, I assure you.

There's just a big cspam/gip crossover. I started lurking there because of the john brown gun thread and stayed for the economic disasterpiece continuation that's been shunted around from gbs to cspam the past decade. I don't even lurk the picture threads anymore.

I got family that work in the theater and food service industries respectively. Wife and I are DINK with a fixed income for a while, probably can ride this out unless great depression level poo poo. If we get funbux we're just gonna sign it directly over to the other family I'm sure.
