Ocasio-Cortez on controlling COVID-19: 'We need to pay people to stay home'

I know somebody that blew most of his stimulus money on musical equipment. I'm not the type of person that thinks poor people don't deserve nice things, everybody deserves to be happy, but come on man. I have very little sympathy for someone getting paid $4000 a month for unemployment that didn't save any of it and can't pay their rent. I used that money for my bills and got paid up. I'm struggling financially right now but I don't have the sword of Damocles hanging over my head anymore. I know I'm fortunate for that fact because a lot of people just plain can't get money right now, but misusing it while they had enough to pay bills and save? Come on now.
