OP the stimulus checks arent for the people out of work. That's what the additional unemployment (+$600/week) was for. Please don't conflate the two. I could agree to helping those who lost jobs, but I don't know the country needs to take on that much more debt for an additional stimulus- especially when so many haven't even gotten the first round yet.

Didn’t get the first one, but I think the extra 600 per week in UE is enough

Should be and will be are different questions.

Of course. There are already massive increases in retail investment, ie Robinhood, etc into an artificial bull market and "buying the dip" as the middle class retain jobs but get stimulus. When the money printing won't/can't be continued and markets are forced to reflect the economy, the rug will be pulled out from the average investor resulting in a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy. Until then, fiscal policy and stimulus checks drive a bull market cycle of more retail investment so may as well pump $400B of taxpayer money into the market every few weeks.

I hope so. I could really use it.

I hope not. I think the stimulus checks were a bridge until PUA funds could be distributed to those actually unemployed. Granted it is “taxpayer money” that is a ton of money being handed out

This might help others choose a similar path. Just create a note and keep on pasting those steps to whoever asks you.

Just remember that you are also asking questions here or is it just that you are here to brag that you have an offer from so and so country ?
