And when you go to the store and are exposed to 10-20 workers.with just as much exposure as that grocery delivery guy? Plus dozens of other people?

I dont think you're putting enough thought into your opinions because everything you just saod isn't just wrong, it's wrong in a way that takes two seconds of thought to see.


No, that's absurd. You're way overthinking it. It doesn't matter if it's 1 person or 100 people. If you're exposed, you're exposed.

My friend did have a good point though. The store she is at is ghost town all day everyday because everyone is ordering online. On the other hand, if that's the case and you're not sick, just go to the store. Nobody is really in it.

Exposed is not just exposed. Not everybody who is exposed will contact the virus. A 1 minute exposure with 10 feet of distance is not the same as an hour in a store with 100 people and a dozen workers. The former has an exceptionally small chance of infection but the latter is a virtual guarantee depending on how many in the store are carriers.

You never answered the question.
You keep talking down to me like you are some brilliant financial advisor so answer my simple question.
Why would I need 6 months worth of expenses sitting in an account doing nothing for me?

most people are stupid and overextend themselves. If I made $50,000/yr. I could save over $15,000 a year and live decent.


If I made 50k per year I couldn't cover my food costs.

People with that mentality deserve to starve. If you are able to save six months of living costs, then it's financially stupid to buy a 75,000 truck or whatever.

You don't even live in the USA so why do you have an opinion about money you don't even get?

So what? Just because somebody is rich doesn't mean you screw them over or refuse to give them a break. They have an impact on the economy too and albeit a bigger one than the poor do.

A lot of house reps and senators ARE wealthy real estate investors.
The POTUS is a prime example of who benefits from the stimulus.

They basically just gave themselves a big tax break.

Then theres Loeffler and Burr that got caught blatantly committing insider trading last month.
Im sure others are guilty of it they just weren't caught.

They're using their positions of power to benefit themselves.

Look at the road next time you are driving. Ask yourself how many people actually buy 75000 dollar trucks.

Really the only group that exists that you are complaining about are oil field workers, who spend like mad men when they have a lot of work and go broke 2 years later when the fields dry up or the company goes out of busineses.

SSI beneficiaries and VA beneficiaries ONLY.

For those who weren’t required to file 2018 or 2019 tax returns, and who are not Social Security recipients, SSDI recipients or railroad retirees, the IRS has created a free, online tool (top link above) you can use to quickly register to receive your stimulus payment if you don’t typically file a tax return due to your income level. People who may fall into this category include some low-income workers, recipients of SSI benefits and Veterans Affairs (VA) beneficiaries. Typically, SSI beneficiaries and VA beneficiaries do not receive 1099 tax forms (although some SSI beneficiaries who also get SSDI benefits would receive an SSA-1099).

agreed
rich people doing the usual.
Capitalism is king! on the way up!
We are in this together please bail us out on the way down. (socialism)
We shouldn't be bailing every millionaire and billionaire out every time their business losses money on the BOOKS... Equity loss is what we should be helping. Not rich people crying for handouts.
