The arm-waving, arm-flap flying nutcase actually had an idea I liked.....Why not bump our SS checks by $200 a month through 2021? $4,200 total. The payout could begin immediately as all of us on the dole are known and accounted for. It beats a one-off check for $1,200 and could be graduated into effect a month at a time. For the faker turds on disability, that would also cut down on them splurging on dope and tattoos the one-time check will result in. Whomever she stole the idea from should be listened to....it's a much better idea.

As a retiree, my full monthly pensions were deposited into my bank account this morning. My income has not been affected at all. But the store where my oldest daughter was working part time, and her main gig as a hair dresser in Toronto, is also closed. She has rent coming due next week and two teenagers to feed.
My youngest’s husband owns a roofing business. He was just starting to line up jobs after the slow winter season, and now he’s not working. As my daughter pointed out, just as the weather was turning, their finances were “getting tight”, but they’re not likely to have any real income this year at all, whereas last year his gross was mid six figures. They have cash reserves to get them through this, but he’s not employing anyone, and they’re not spending unless necessary either.
My son’s wife is a nurse. They have a year old baby. I have a whole other set of concerns there, none of which are financial.
