Stimulus Checks...how ya gonna spend it?

[gaymer77]

Won't qualify, but I'd get something for the kids.

One week without school and they're getting wound up. Five weeks to go....

Thinking of buying a junked car and having them fix it up and call their own.

Like a 90's civic or Subaru. They're pretty easy to rebuild.

Hate to break it to you but those 90's Hondas are going for around the $3k mark still for some stupid ass reason. In non-working condition they still run in the $1500-2k range lol

thats cause they last so long, that stripping parts from the rare unrecoverable breakdown is worth it to continue keeping the other runnings


it will be what the roaches that persist after humanity is gone will be driving.

[Voidwielder]

I plan on buying heavily if it approaches $20 or $30.

The current crisis doesn't change the fact that the 737 is likely to be fixed in the next little bit and many fleets around the world have aging aircraft that can only be replaced by the 737 and the A320. Boeing failing would be the loss of a strategic asset to the US. The government would never let it happen.

In a few years it'll be well over $200 again.

If it's a strategic asset but can't manage itself, then the US government should nationalize it.

[D Luniz]

looking like it will be 1200 for people making under 75k a year, and a smaller amount for the up to 99k, not sure one what the joint filers will get

i was half working out, half listening to the tv

[Clone]

Hopefully strippers, invest in the future generation of nurses

[Bodakane]

Please guys....if this money goes out and all you plan on doing with it is investing it or putting it in savings because it won't affect you....then just donate to a family or charity that needs it.

You can however get an early 2000's Winstar minivan for about $500.

As a bleeding heart liberal, I think this is a bad idea, regardless to political party, this is going to be a disaster.

I seen alot of misinformation from fellow lefties on this saying "see trumps farther left than biden"

ignoring that trump has cut food stamps and has lobbied to scotus to dismantle obamacare, in the end poor people are getting less but americans will THInk its a gain if its more immediate then a more robust social safety net, i guess its a pretty smart way as tricking people into thinking shrinking government is progressive

Subsidy =/= Socialism. Please stop with your rhetoric.

so obamacare isnt socialism?

again im not even against it in principle, im just very uncofmortable with nationalist supporting socialist policies

How exactly are you attempting to make a correlation between federally mandated healthcare, with a juicy fine for non-compliance, to an emergency stimulus derived in an attempt to prevent an economical collapse?

Also, it would help if you realized that many do not support this sort of government spending under normal circumstances. However we are not exactly under normal circumstances, are we?

As long as the government doesn't take control of their Medicare and Medicaid they wont see it as socialism. Unless Obama did it

Though on a serious note, lending money to businesses is definitely more of a capitalist option. The socialist angle, which people have suggested in the thread, would be to nationalize Boeing instead of allowing it to go bankrupt

[DarkTZeratul]

Two words: mortgage payment.

Allowing it to go bankrupt is not always a bad thing.
Bankruptcy will allow for reorganization...refinancing...new leadership and a fresh start.

Bankruptcy in the corporate world does not mean they disappear you guys have watched too many movies ������

I don't believe I placed any value either direction on whether it should be bailed out. It will be, because the alternate is harder even if it will need to be bailed out yet again in the future, which is why ive put money down on it and might put even more if it gets crushingly low.

Explain why it isn't.

[Kasierith]

Explain why it isn't.

Socialism is communal shared ownership (ie government controlled). These subsidies may come from the government, but how they are used is ultimately left to the individuals to spend as they will. It's been a theory in capitalism for decades, to stimulate the economy by boosting from the bottom up, increasing the number of transactions, and moving the invisible hand of the market.

The problem tends to be that the other part of keeping that stable, increasing taxes on those transactions to roll the money back into the government, is immensely unpopular. Economic and political theories clashing.

[Dacien]

It's going right to my mortgage company.

[apeiron1234]

Put it towards my cancer treatment.

That is communism.
