Another thing to consider is the rate of inflation relative to the interest rate of debt. Might also be a good time to go ahead and throw that money on any outstanding debt. We printed a lot of money this year.

I was going to say something not so nice,  but my better senses have kicked in.  I would like to say that I am at least glad some of you have got it, but I’m not.  For those of us paying for all of this and getting Zero, my condolences.

Have I missed something this morning? I'm sort of confused. Yeah, that's normal for me; but this thread is making it more so  this morning.

It's being disbursed between now an the 15th; not all at once. You might be a "Tail-end Charlie'!

Is what it is.  I'm not getting any this go around, only got a bit less than half last time.  But if that money keeps people from having bills go into arrears or makes it way to local businesses who could use it, I'm good.

I'll bet it's funny for some to see what side of the makers vs. takers spectrum I'm on.

It’s funny watching all of the “fiscal conservatives” bragging about their welfare.

Until they reversed themselves, the FDA was going to make that expensive. I can't believe they even floated this idea.

Distilleries that made hand sanitizer amid a shortage earlier this year were shocked to learn this week that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was slapping them with a $14,060 fee, but in a reversal Thursday night, the Department of Health and Human Services directed the FDA to cease enforcement of the fees.

My disabled friend called today. The money was in her bank account this morning. I'm happy for her. She's one of the people that actually needs the money.

Nothing for me yet. I got the first one through the mail. So I expect it to be a while yet.

Probably. We were very early to receive in the first round.

[Grunt67]

A bit surprised, but mine was in the bank this am. $600.  That'll go about as far as my truck on a quart of gas.

People at work keep asking what caliber my stimulus came in...  10mm this time.

There is an old saying, "A small price to pay for freedom"...somehow I don't think this is what it was originally referring to.

Not to worry. Anyone that's a productive member of society will eventually pay a lot more than $600 back in taxes.If they would only deal with Covid instead of throw all the pork into the bill it wouldn't bother me so much.

What are you going to do with your welfare?

I won’t be getting anything. I’m good. If by chance I do, I’ll probably donate it to AOC , Omar or get Pelosi’s garage door cleaned.

I'm a fan of hand sanitizer. More effective if you oak it for a little while....

[jpx2rk]

I saw a news clip where the FDA (IIRC) was fining some or all of the distillers who made hand sanitizer during the great shortage of 2020 for some dumb gooberment policy

I heard that as well...about 10 posts right before yours.  

Stupidest damn thing I’ve ever heard.  The fee was “allowed” under the CARES act to further bolster government coffers for regulation.  It’s insane.

The difference is they probably paid taxes for that "welfare".

Nope, not at all. I have no idea why it was so small.

We got ours. It's going to savings and may eventually be spent on house upgrades. I have body armor, NVG's and plenty of ammo and guns.
