No kidding. My sister, who still has her job, got a check. My other sister, who's comfortably retired with a gov't pension, got a check. My 89-year old mother got a check, despite no change in her status. A friend who makes $85K per year and is still working at her Silicon Valley job got a check. Even a man who died three years ago got a check!
My wife got laid off and my business has come to a screeching halt. No check for us! And of all the people above, we are the only ones who are supporting kids (2) in college. Of course a stimulus check would make no difference, anyway. But the way the gov't is distributing the checks makes no sense.
