Are they talking about the $1400 in 2020? Are they insane?
No it’s mostly the increased unemployment benefits that people got.
Look at the way we can fail the economy but the economy can't fail us. Disgusting!
They're writing about me. I spent $6.75 a week and now I'm out. Good luck with the economy and all that shit now.
you've done it. You in particular have fucked the economy up!
Try "the bare scraps tossed to peons were picked clean 3 years ago", ghouls.
When are we getting the other $600 checks, Brandon!
Putting aside every other thing wrong with this bullshit: what the fuck are "excess" savings?
Oh, those are just savings the bourgeois don't think you should have
We have already got, first savings.
But what about, second savings?
Labor wasn't disciplined quite as much as usual. Such decadent excesses of the working class.
It just means savings above they level they were at before Covid.
Wrong. Things are great.
literally what libs think, here's a representative stormfront comment for you
I swear these people want to be as alienated as possible from reality
It's basically this https://elpidio.org/2018/02/12/citigroups-plutonomy-memo-there-are-rich-consumers-and-there-are-the-rest/
There's like 20% of the population that's comfortable, and nothing much has changed in their lives. They don't interact with anybody who is struggling, and they consume media that tells them that everything is going great. They literally live in an alternate reality from the rest of the population.
"Every time the stock market does well, my post office job gives me a permanent raise!"
narrator voice: "This has never happened, ever."
