Between Saturday and today....incredible amount of money being added to the economy.
Hopefully there aren't many that sit back and save it.

At lunch, I went by my local Wells Fargo to grab some random cash, and there were lines 10 deep for every drive through teller lane. This is a depressed neighborhood, it's likely that people were pulling $2800 cash out of their accounts because cash is far more important than credit or checks around here. That, or people were trying to make it liquid before some automatic withdrawal process wiped it away...ehem alimony ehem...

But clearly, there was LOTS of cash being injected into this community in some manner.

I'm curious, if a single mother with 7 children on TANF and SNAP has an eighth child in 2020, will she receive $12,600 today or only $11,200? Because, as mentioned- 2020 shouldn't be counted as we are trying to establish a baseline.

It depends on when she filed her 2020 taxes.

I got an IRS letter stating that we (file jointly) will be getting 1200 bucks. Haven't check with my bank yet.
I was expecting 2800. Don't know what's up yet but i've heard some people are only getting half of what they were expecting.
Anybody else getting shorted?

Hehe, lotta big talk here about what is being bought by pelicans with the stimmies.....

Clearly shoe organizer has tabs written all over it.

Patio furniture sets looks like a Baz anomaly.

Summer dresses, um I could identify but that would get me a trip....

The ones really to wonder about: rose toy for weemens, gua shua. That clearly aint' gunz n ammos! Fess up!

We went to our favorite restaurant. Haven’t been there all year. The place has gone to hell. Food was not nearly as good and our favorite waiter is leaving. We left him $100 tip on a $150 bill. Probably never see him again. Probably never go back to the restaurant either.

that's hilarious! You hit it on the head with the shoe rack and patio furniture, except that Baz never buys patio furniture. All of his comes when the kids clean out the house and put it on the curb after grandpa passes away. Apparently, Baz is even better at getting a deal than Tabs!!

They're almost ready to move back home. It's all cleaned up and ready.

I wish I could get free money and stay at home. Unfortunately some have to keep working to keep the folks on welfare happy/safe.
