Paul Krugman is a must read in my books.#economics

"So Donald Trump’s name will, in a break with all previous practice, appear on the checks that will slightly mitigate the Donald Trump depression caused by the Donald Trump pandemic. Hey, we’re supposed to put his name on everything, right?

The operative word, however, is “slightly.” Those $1,200 checks, it turns out, are only a small fraction of the rescue package Congress passed a few weeks ago. And the CARES Act, in turn, fell far short of meeting the nation’s needs."

It´s a good thing to get familiar with the way things work here, in the Fediverse. It´s a Fedration of independant systems, each supporting itself and having discretion of setting their own preferred rules.

There are places with more strict rules, some with less, some which are hellholes we best keep distance from.

So it´s good to know. 😉

Any questions, just ask.
