Do you need a new gun? You may have some extra cash soon.

So are the people on welfare and public assistance getting checks too ? That's like a bonus check for not working x 2 = fuck the working class again.
Is also say screw any and all corporate bailouts.. last time around they gave themselves fat bonuses after crying help me.

Course they are! Errbody getting money.

$1k per adult, $500 per kid is current plan, and then again later on if still national emergency:

Trump wants direct payments of $1,000 for adults, $500 for kids in coronavirus stimulus bill, Mnuchin says

The White House is talking to congressional leaders of both parties about a massive stimulus package to blunt the impact of the coronavirus crisis.

After this people will be like "Shit, that worked so great why can't they just always give us a check every month?"

I really think gov needs to drop helicopter cash on this but I don't think checks are the right approach. What am I going to do with a check? If I still have my job (and I won't if I keep surfing the net instead of working), why do I need more money? This needs to be focused better.

I don't begrudge teachers sitting at home right now watching TV. It's just reality. And let's be honest I'm not working at full capacity right now. I'm obsessed with the news

Teachers (tenured) and administrators are only a portion of the education system getting paid. I'm a "contract teacher" we work for short periods of time in different schools within the school district, all of us basically hourly workers, so are not getting paid as the schools are shut down. This includes bus drivers, cafeteria workers, evening janitors, special ed aids and teacher aids, we are F@#Ked...some of us don't qualify for Unenjoyment...

I don't think people would like my answer.

Family member of mine worked like a dog for 20 years and then contracted an illness. So they're not entitled to the social security disability they PAID FOR all those years?

What about a 20 year old kid who got mangled in the thresher and never had a chance to pay in?

I will again defer my answer.

My compassion and empathy for others left me a very long time ago.

Not sure if I will ever get it back, stolen from me in the middle of the night.

I bet it will be even worse than that because it will phase out with income. Yay progressivism.

I watch people all of the time. In person and through the news and internet.

Example: Clueless Spring Breakers Vow To Party On Despite Coronavirus Warnings


This is one reason why I have no love lost for so many. I cannot feel anything for people like this. Not saying all should get cancelled, but to have this cavalier type attitude is just not responsible. They start getting sick and then they want the rest of us to feel for them.

Not a new gun BUT........ Dillon progressive reloading press!!!

 

[Podmonkey]

Regardless of my personal feelings regarding this, I have that money earmarked as going towards a washer and dryer. Thems are shockingly expensive.
But the luxury of doing laundry at 2am in my PJs is very much worth it IMO.

Ah! Finally back on topic.

Butterfly and just got back from the cabin after doing some shooting. Her pistola of choice is SP101 using 38 special. I brought my EDC a Gen 4 G27. We were firing as a target tree with 6” plates at about 15yds. Right out of the box first shot she is on target. Then for the next 30 rounds or so she on and off target but finishes up with 4 out of 5 on the last reload.

Myself I put about 75 rounds down range. It took about 25 rnds to get comfortable again but then I remembered how. Finished up strong.

I practiced some single hand shooting and surprised myself again when I did pretty good.

Oh yeah new gun. I also fired 20 rnds of .357 magnum with wifeys gun and did mind at all. Butterfly doesn’t like .357 cuz of its bark and recoil. My only problem came from the lady sized grip. It is just to small for my old arthritic ham hock.

So possible next gun would be a GP100 with a big set of Hogue grips.

Now off topic. Has anyone heard of any means testing regarding the $1000 dollar checks. Really thought I heard on the radio today that couples with $75k income and up were out of the loop.

Think I found my answer here. $150k for couples according to Mitch.

McConnell's coronavirus stimulus plan would provide payments of $1,200 per person, $2,400 for couples

Saying lawmakers "need to take bold and swift action as soon as possible," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday introduced legislation to provide as much as $1,200 per person and $2,400 per couple in the U.S. amid the coronavirus outbreak and skyrocketing jobless claims.

So although my industry has been completely shut down, because I made too much money in previous years I will get nothing! Fuck these idiots from now on I think I will keep what I make. These bastards don't seem to do very well managing the money they steal from me!

We got a new LG a couple years ago that washes and drys. It is very slow, takes about 4 hours to do a load, but you just put dirty clothes in and get clean dry ones out.

The wife says if it folded then too there wouldn't be any work to laundry at all.

Highly recommended.

Most people aren't so well prepared!

Or well positioned .. .. I know a lot of people making under $30,000/YR .. Almost paycheck to paycheck... They have some reserve but not much.
