  The "economic impact payments" in the US, clearly
  • deanCommie 4y ago
    Those were for business owners exclusively. I don't think the average consumer got anymore than a onetime rent relief.

      Perhaps you're thinking of the payroll loans. There were three economic impact payments that went out to almost everyone: https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/coronavirus/assistance-for-american-families-and-workers/economic-impact-payments https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/coronavirus/assistan... For people under the income caps, the total disbursed to each adult was 3200, plus additional to parents / guardians for each child.

        Which was a one time payment early in the pandemic. So, 2 years on to announce that "Free COVID money is over" is extraordinarily disingenuous.
