the man doesn't have food now. not 6 months from now when your fishing line untangles. what do you do?
- malandrew 7y agoGive them the minimum number of fish for them to survive as a stopgap (two $1200 checks, some extra conditional $600 checks and unemployment).
- throwlaplace 7y agothese kinds of solutions always assume there isn't enough slack in the system to give more than the minimum when it's clearly not the case because all of the fed models have slippage factored in. but no when it's welfare absolutely every penny has to be accounted for. >some extra conditional $600 checks conditional on what? literacy? drug tests? skin color? why conditional at all?
- malandrew 7y ago> conditional on what? I don't remember. I think it might have been for dependents. Go read the text of the first bailout bill. It's all there.
