And they said they're considering just sending checks to people over a payroll tax cut
Exactly. Who gets the checks?
What a damn disaster this is. I wonder what American life is going to look like a few months from now
Hard to say. It'll be different, but in time it'll feel normal again. Remember how things were after 9-11? Things never went back to the way they were before it, but eventually, it all felt normal.
Even $1000 between my girlfriend and I would be MASSIVELY HELPFUL. But the job she works she gets paid under the table, so I have to imagine people in those situations won't get anything.

But does that count as every adult? Do you have to be employed? There are a lot of questions that the media doesn't seem to be asking, when they're sitting right there.
It should be $1000 for each of you though. The point should be to help support the household. $1000 isn't going to help a family of 4 not lose their home.
Indeed especially regarding things never going back to the way they were before it. At least in NY since then. I and many others I know still feel unease whenever we see airplanes flying around here in proximity to buildings, doesn't help that I live near the airport. I avoid visiting buildings approaching skyscraper heights, etc.
Of course, that would be ideal. I hope it's literally "every adult gets X amount."
There's definitely a whole chunk of the forum that doesn't and that makes me feel old as hell. I think this is probably gonna lead to bigger changes than 9/11.
Because there's no bill yet. Nothing has been decided. There's probably little point asking for specifics of a proposal that hasn't been through any house yet and will 100% change by the time it gets through

“I am introducing a bill this week to give: $1,000 to every American adult. $500 for every child. No exceptions. We need to support the American people NOW—and this is just a start.”
Because as the GOP and Capitalist ideals in general have displayed, corporations matter more than human beings.

I know, I'm just curious because it was under 20k this morning if I recall correctly.
