Boss makes a dollar, i make a dime, it's really nice to see the boss here on the factory floor with the rest of us here at the mint

I guess there's an argument on where to draw the income line on covid relief checks and that's what's holding them up.

Here's my hot take: if you're sitting here whacking off about how much is "too much" to receive aid, maybe you should be looking at how much is "too much" for tax breaks. At all. Any breaks. You'd make 100x more income than you'd save by stiffing someone who makes 50,001 bucks a year out of a one-time check.

Also hotter take: 50k/yr in Arkansas is VASTLY different than 50k/yr in California. In some of the more gentrified places here, 50k is poverty. That in and of itself is a major problem worth unpacking but not this post.

This entire thing is screwed up, friends. Not even on a "people in power are evil" level. It just doesn't make sense on any level.
