I got a tax refund for the first time in years and the budgeting system I use recorded it as “income”. So were the stimulus checks counted at income? Does this include the unemployment checks? If so and it likely does no one needs to work. This is proof that the government can take care of all of us! ?
GG Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 How can the government justify fining small business owners and churches for small gatherings, while there are thousands of people out in the streets now. 1 5

Deranged Rhino Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 That’s one positive to take from all this. If there are not major outbreaks in LA, NYC, Chicago et al, within 10-14 days, we will know we were lied to about the virus. And there will be no reason to deny us football, concerts or other large events. 2 1

So let’s pray those old folks haven’t been stashing Red Bull and Bud Light.

B-Man Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 The “Experts” Led Us Into a Cul-De-Sac by Design It is incredible that the US economy was shut down on the basis of the predictions of a faulty model, as discussed here. Not just one, but ALL of the doomsday predictions from that model were wrong! Who knows how many lives and livelihoods were destroyed as the “unintended consequences” of authoritarian policy decisions of largely Democrat governors? Missed elective surgeries and treatments, suicides, mental depression, increased drug and alcohol use, etc., etc. The lives affected are merely speed bumps on the road to Democrat political hegemony in America. And then there is the evidence emerging that all efforts should have been focused on risk groups instead of slamming the general population and destroying the economy, as reported here: 2.1 million Americans, representing 0.62% of the U.S. population, reside in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. (Nursing homes are residences for seniors needing help with activities of daily living, such as taking a shower or getting dressed, who also require 24/7 medical supervision; assisted living facilities are designed for seniors who need help with activities of daily living, but don’t require full-time on-site medical supervision.) Among states reporting their death totals, 42% of COVID deaths have taken place in long-term care facilities; we also estimate the share as 42% for the full U.S. population, based on incorporating the demographics of the non-reporting states. Let that sink in: 42% of all COVID-19 deaths are taking place in facilities that house 0.62% of the U.S. population. In other words, if 43% of deaths from the ChiCom virus are from nursing home and long-term care facilities, then that amounts to 43,000 of the 100,000 deaths of Americans in nursing home and long-term care facilities. That simple statistic never gets reported by the legacy media because it doesn’t fit the doomsday narrative.

My admittedly thin understanding is that the stimulus checks were a tax credit, and they will effectively count as income next cycle. I actually rushed to file my taxes ahead of the stimulus in an effort to minimize my check because of that, and also I didn't really need it. Not sure how unemployment works, but I'd imagine that is also income unless the check is issued pre-taxed. Not sure how much sense it makes to tax checks that are being funded by taxes in the first place, but they do love to take their piece of every transaction...

They totaled up the $1,200 stimulus payments that were approved in April and that provided a huge monthly boost to incomes. May will tell a vastly different story. 1

Yeah, I have little doubt that it's as a result of the stimulus and the unemployment benefits
mead107 Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Insurance companies should not pay for property destroyed by looters. Let the governors pay that told police to stand down. ?

SoCal Deek Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 My Southern California office reopens today. We’ve worked out a socially distant seating plan, and we’ll see how it goes. We’re allowing employees to keep working from home if they have a personal / family issue or other preexisting condition. Should be interesting! 1
