? It's a rhetorical question, we all know why, but we don't have to repeat these choices in this thread.
- tmp_anon_22 4y agoReminds me of water conservation focusing on personal use versus industrial agriculture in the middle of literal deserts. Or the output of a Toyota Camry versus a container ship.

- LorenPechtel 4y agoYeah. We got stimulus checks we didn't need. I think that was the right thing to do, though--they would have come out a lot later if they had to go through and try to figure out who needs them. Especially since both of us are self-employed, the IRS simply gets the quarterly estimated payments and nothing about what we are actually making until we file the tax return. PPP was a fraudster's paradise, though. The idea was good, the implementation was not so good.
