Sean,

Donald Trump isn’t sending us a check. Congress controls the purse in the USA, not the president.[1] [2] Wasn’t this the original idea of Andrew Yang, anyway?![3]

What will Americans do with it? Spend some on rent & toilet paper & disinfectant & food &… Maybe hospital bills?

Congressional checks, while good for business, are not the cure for Covid-19!

Please use caution when spending yours.[4] [5] [6]
