ah yeah that makes sense I guess

do these people get mad when a millionaire drives on a public road or uses a library?

listen, i don't my tax dollars paying to help put out the fire at Crassus's house.

that's why private fire services, with affordable access to government subsidized fire plans for the poor is the only reasonable solution.

will a lot of people who need the checks not get them due to this cutoff? yes

but look at the lesser evil here: the lib vermin who make up the dem party, overwhelmingly white collar ghouls, will not get a dime either

My favorite thing to do now is go on twitter and find people bashing Bernie for doing nothing, and then point out actually he blocked atrocious OMB nominee Neera Tanden.

If you are in bumfuck nowhere. If I made 80k a year I’d still think about getting a mortgage to buy a house, if I had a spouse and our combined earnings were 120+k then I’d consider actually owning a house.

depending on where you're at in CA....kinda?

if you want to both comfortably live, work and commute within San Francisco (and not live in some run-down shared loft with 6 other people) you probably need to make at least $90k. median rent for a 1BR apartment in SF as of last year was $3500/mo. median rent for all homes in SF was $4300.

agreed, though actually gently caress min wage it should be UBI of at least 2k/mo or whatever the math indicates is best and then let the loving bosses try and pay nothing for service industry jobs

Most places won't even approve you unless you can prove gross income at least 3x the monthly rent, so that would set a rent ceiling of $2250/mo. That's on the low end even in some of the "less expensive" areas that are at least within vaguely commutable distance to the bay.

very smart posters were trying to claim it makes the stimulus more effective because lower incomes spend more, as if it's somehow going to make x fixed sized units of stimulus > x + 12 million fixed sized units of stimulus
