Again with the stupid $2000 checks. The author should probably get one, there's no rationale to send ME, or my humble middle class neighbors on all sides a check. We don't NEED an extra $2000 dollars, and personally I would rather see that money go to people struggling with their expenses, struggling to keep their small businesses afloat, struggling to provide child care or to care for kids at home and losing income as a result. I'd much rather see that money go to teachers struggling to hold both in person and on line classes or to pay the health care costs of states and localities struggling to keep up with slammed hospitals and millions of vaccines to administer...but that's just me;)
