How much is it? Full 2k or 1400? Not sure what passed in the end.

I'd buy windows, if I was receiving a stimulus check.

The portion that I got for my kids will go into their college fund. A good chunk of the rest will go to fun stuff.

Even ignoring the non-US contingent this needs an "I got phased out and didn't even get a lousy T-shirt" option.  Mostly for Cal.

The lack of empathy for people making too much to get any stimulus is downright shocking.  :mad:

Yeah, fuck you, how much empathy have you shown for people not getting those juicy child credits?  Huh, huh?

Repair the irrigation manifold for the house and overhaul the rear differential on the truck. Both small local businesses. Straight out of my pocket, into theirs.
