Yay. Makes me so happy. As long as they are still running, they can create tremendous toilet paper.

Well I make less than 75k so I'll take that 1200

---

It goes by your 2018 taxes.

<I>Under the plan, people making up to $75,000 a year are expected to receive checks of $1,200. Couples making $150,000 will receive $2,400 with an additional $500 per child. The new agreement removed the phase-in provision that excluded lower-income Americans from receiving the full benefit.
The payments would decrease for those making more than $75,000, with an income cap of $99,000 per individual or $198,000 for couples.
The bill is also expected to include roughly $100 billion in assistance for hospitals, $350 billion in assistance to small businesses to help them meet payroll, $500 billion in aid for corporations, such as airline companies and cruise lines, that have been hurt by the coronavirus outbreak.

Someone Not Employed, in Education, or Training for a job

In other words, moochers

If that $500 billion doesn't have stipulations that they can't lay off workers or have massive pay cuts than this bill absolutely should not be passed

This. We need air travel. The human race could move on permanently from cruise ships and never look back.

Dems got GOP to throw out the provision that fucked people without an income over. So yeah neets would get the money.

Is the check a loan/lien/whatever tho

people who say this i don't think fundamentally understand what the world would look like without airlines.

^This is what I'm curious about as well. The original GOP plan it was a loan that we all had to pay back next year. Considering we're looking at 20-30% unemployment in the coming months that's fucking horseshit.

Are NEETs and the rich getting the checks like it for everyone? Or it only those who filed a tax return and are in a certain income bracket?

You don't need an income to get money. Those making over 90k I think are the ones who get nothing.

Now question is, do anybody over the age of 65 who collects social security gets anything?

---

Where is my money?

Airline companies are important. People do have to travel for business for one. Not to mention packages traveled around the world rely on airlines. And then who doesn't want to travel when this is over to visit family or go some place new instead of being locked to their country? I'm not super happy about a bail out, but airlines are essential unfortunately

Cruises aren't what I call essential though

America


---

does it say if this is monthly or a one time thing? I dont see a one time 1,200 doing anything

---

Corporations should have been left to fend for themselves. Too bad they have to keep giving executives bonuses and buying yachts when they could just pay their employees better.

---

So does this just get tacked onto the national debt or what?

They get less but not nothing, If read it right

I'm not seeing anything different from that one. It still requires 2018 taxes and I don't see anywhere where they've waived the $2500 required.

Let me know if you have any links for clarification in case I'm wrong.

From the NBC article. So if I'm reading that right the 2.5k requirement has been axed.

So happy for the average American, I dont mind airlines getting bailed out... its not really their fault. Boeing can go fuck themselves though, they did stock buybacks last stimulus packages. Fuckers!

you'll pay it back later through taxes

Considering that was one of Schumer's big sticking points with the original bill, I expect that was one of the things that was hammered out. I'm predicting they get their slush fund with lighter restrictions than we'd like but protections for employees. No way Pubs were gonna back off the kickbacks to their masters entirely. They'd have let the country burn to the ground first.

Highly unlikely. There is little incentive to even try to pay off the debt let alone actual political interest in doing so.

This is so gross. A one time check to the people of $1.2k costing not even $400b. Only $100b towards hospitals. And the rest to big business donors.

They literally give us crumbs taking advantage of the desperate time, and unfortunately many people will be content with it. Goddamn.

But why do we need to be rescued if everything will be back to normal like next week?
