Sure it does.
We've been telling our "essential workers" to put up with this risk or starve the entire time. Who were they, btw? Doctors and nurses? Not really. They were minimum wage low level employees. Trash collectors. Fast food workers. Walmart shelf stockers. Those were our essentials, who couldn't get assistance, because they weren't involuntarily made to stay home. Now we're going to extend that same courtesy to every other poor person.
Our admin didn't want a shutdown, and when shut down, it didn't want any emergency pennies going to "essential workers". Stimmy payments went to debt collectors. Child support enforcement got in on the act too..and even though an injured spouse claim is supposed to protect these payments..there was no one at the IRS (they're not essential) to process the claims, so they didn't.
Many have been told that stimulus checks might reach them by sept. The pandemic is still a thing, help has not arrived, and we're being told to go die for the dow. If this isn't discussion worthy...then the fact that it isn't would be discussion worthy. It's rare to be so openly treated like livestock.
