The $1000 checks

[GreatSpirit]

So it looks like Americans are more than likely getting at least a $1000 stimulus check per person, which includes kids. And this could be monthly too!! I wonder who's gold we took.

How do you feel about this? What will you use this for?

My unemployment is $1,680 a month, plus my theoretical monthly stimulus payment, which brings my potential  monthly income to $2,680 for a few months, by doing absolutely nothing.

I heard that, then I heard that Trump was not going to do that.

He's probably doing that so he gets reelected despite handling the pandemic poorly.

I intend to save it and spend it on products I think will be useful to me:

Better subliminal affirmation software, a good MIDI keyboard, A drum pad, A decent microphone, a basic home studio and vlogging setup, and maybe some esoteric items or books or something, if I think they're useful. Also, anything I think is conducive to healing.

If I get it I'll save it for mortgage payments in case I lose my disability.

Spend it quick - it's funny money at this point. Wait till the full blown bailouts. The price of oil dropping from 50 to 20 in two weeks blew someone's derivatives. Just waiting to see who..

If you have leftover, buy silver

or platinum

Though there's very little left. Metal buyers know what's coming next.. May not be much supply available until the price rises quite a bit.

I once bought 10k worth of silver, but I had to sell it and it had fallen to only 5k. It's a lousy investment.

Some of that magic money which corporations always end up enjoying is likely coming your way.

A little Socialism for the people. Its not fair if its always the rich who are enjoying it...

I saw this posting that was informative.

Since there are reports that the United States Government will possibly be sending money by check or direct deposit to American citizens "shortly," the FTC has made a list of three important tips to keep in mind.


The details are still being worked out, but there are a few really important things to know:

1. The government will not ask you to pay anything up front to get this money. No fees. No charges. No nothing.
   
2. The government will not call to ask for your Social Security number, bank account, or credit card number. Anyone who does is a scammer.
   
3. These reports of checks aren’t yet a reality. Anyone who tells you they can get you the money now is a scammer.
   

Predict that the scammers are gearing up to take advantage of this. So, remember: no matter what this payment winds up being, only scammers will ask you to pay to get it. If you spot one of these scams, please tell the Federal Trade Commission: www.ftc.gov/complaint. W
The FTC encourages you to keep up to date with the latest Coronavirus-related scams at www.ftc.gov/coronavirus or by signing up to get these consumer alerts.

Edit 2: if you sort by ‘Q & A’ I made an easier ‘Copy Text’ so you can share it
Edit: since this has exploded (which I am grateful for!) I would like to also point out some things...
I’m not sure of the numbers but people fall for the classic “CONGRATULATIONS MR/MRS, PRINCE of x country wants to give you a MILLION dollars!!!!! if you give us your information” all of the time. And that is 100% a lie, but people STILL FALL FOR IT.
Think about this.. the news is telling people the government is giving them $1000. So when someone calls requesting their information, they think it’s true. Like, holy s*** people. This is going to get so many people and it’s not getting the attention it deserves on a national level.
Please please please spread this! If I could I’d trade all the awards (thank you for them) on this post to save ONE person from being scammed out of (what is probably) their life savings I would. Thank you everyone. Please spread this!

$ has no connection with gold for a long time already.

Many governments are just printing money like crazy right now, more precisely - just creating numbers out of thin air with no real value.

Sure, a thousand dollars sounds good, but... why? What’s going on behind the scenes that leadership wants to distract the population with a check? I’m more concerned about that.

There are big shifts and changes happening in the world right now.

A lot of families live paycheck to paycheck.

I think because Trump handled the pandemic so poorly, he's trying to win voters by giving the money.


He first called the virus a hoax, and then on 3/17 said he knew it was a pandemic the whole time (before it was called a pandemic).

The next big bank bailout is coming - 50-100 trillion dollars is my guess. Maybe more. They are already at a 1.2 trillion dollar continuous bailout in the repo market now without considering any of the derivative meltdowns likely to come up in the next couple of weeks. The Fed and FRN are dead pretty soon.

It's what happens when you put the Orion Group/Deep State in charge of banks. The Ponzi scheme eventually implodes. The CV that the Orion Group/Deep State unleashed was just the catalyst.

Trump is just trying to give the people money while it still has value. 10k for 300 million people is only 3 trillion.

I looked into it and that stimulus bill also had other things hidden within it, like massive corporate bailouts. It didn’t pass. I thought it sounded too good to be true. Imagine, the government actually helping people. Crazy idea, I know.

This planet is giving us an opportunity to finally drop the concept of money.  It looks like we are collectively still not there yet, because the proposed solutions are just going to kick the can further down the road (further in the future).
