Second Stimulus Check: What Social Media Is Saying as Negotiations Begin on Capitol Hill
The United States Senate returned from a two-week recess on Monday to begin negotiating a second [...]
Stakes
The Senate will begin debate on a 5th COVID bill Monday. What's at stake:
* $600 unemployment extension
* A second stimulus
* Extended enhanced SNAP
* Student loan forgiveness(House already passed these things)
It's usually jokes on here but this is serious. Pay attention

Prayers
prevnextEveryone please pray that the Senate does the right thing come 7/17. That’s when they come back from their recess. Pray that the additional $600 is extended til 2021 and that there is a second stimulus check.

Workload Disparity
prevnextJust remember when the $600/week runs out and congress revises their second stimulus package to not extend it, it’s 120k/year politicians who said you don’t deserve to live if you aren’t working. Fuck this country, what a joke

Comparison to Other Countries
Americans have spent the whole pandemic talkin down on China who got it under control and now just spent this week smearing Cuba. We have gotten 1 stimulus Check and Mitch McConnell went on Vacation in June comfortably lmao

prevI can’t believe we’ve been living in a pandemic for months now and they’ve only issued out 1 stimulus check. My heart really goes out to everyone struggling to just get by.
