You guys talking about the Mara Gay piece for the Times, in Atlanta? Read that too. I get it. But, frustrating to see that kind of limited and emotional thinking from anyone, and it is A LOT of people from every voting block. This narrative about checks, is just so flawed.
Not that COVID needs to be blamed on the Trump admin, though the response was really lacking, even to be evenhanded about it, so the checks were in response to a disastrous economic force, that closed businesses, and closed the economy in a lot of ways, for months. They were to help people in a bad spot. But, they were done with such speed, for good reason, that a lot of oversight wasn't there, which, I think is fine. Better to have them get to people who need it.
Had there not been COVID there would have been no checks. So, the idea that the former presidents great for business and money is very flawed. It's just simplistic thinking. Like that Tik TOK article. People have lessened critical thinking tools over the last 10 years.
