I saw it late last night in my checking account after friends told me they received theirs too. Yes, I’m talking about America’s woefully inadequate $1200 to keep its fragile Kapitalism Uber Alles religion alive. Given how much it costs to live in Austin, it’s a punch in the throat, even for those who remain employed (grocery stores, the bike shop I went to, etc.). I am fortunate and will never forget that so I have contemplated giving some of mine to a person who needs help because they’re self-employed.
Let’s also hear it for EFT with the IRS/Treasury! Due to his bruised and delicate ego (a GOP standard), people receiving the physical checks have to wait a little longer thanks to Orange Foolius demanding his name on said checks. It’s not a surprise no matter how much he and his toadies deny it. This asshole loves to vandalize everything in sight with his surname like a dog that has to piss on something to prove it’s his. I would’ve loved to be fly on the wall when someone had to speak up, explain to him how he can’t have his signature mass printed on them to give the false impression he gave what Congress chose to do. He will do whatever desperate thing possible to get re-elected. Nevermind how this tactic utterly failed 12 years ago aid the dying Sen. John McPhony campaign.
Meanwhile, I have a refrigerator to plan and buy. What I picked out is so cool, I will probably post a story about it!
