Stimulus checks are not the same as bailouts. When does American worker get a bailout? What legislative process needs to get started for that? I would love the opportunity to get some money and pay it back sometimes can I get an upvote for that.
We are loosing our homes, automobiles, lively hoods and our lives. We can't pay for child care or food, how are we suppose to work 40 hours a week not knowing if all our needs are met? We pass homeless on the commute to work as a reminder if we fall behind there is no help. While companies post the biggest profits in history. You guys please remember to be focused on racial and societal issues instead of the actual problem which is the war against the poor. I don't know of the state of bailouts in other countries but I can only imagine.
