I’m grateful for the $600 stimulus check and I think too many people are complaining that’s it’s ONLY $600

It's really great that you're greatful for that.

Personally, I think you're coming from a different position to them. The money is a great bonus for you. They have no other income. It would have been better for the government to help them keep their jobs, like they did in other countries.

I'm not being judgy at you I promise. It just makes no sense to me. I was out of work for 6 months this year and still getting paid my normal wage while my workplace didn't need us. So this system is foreign to me. I don't understand how people are expected to live off so little.

I am glad you have this cheque. I just have a lot of sympathy for everyone out of work. I'm really coming at this from a confused place.
