Didn't mean to minimize the divide between the haves and the have nots as I get it that lots of people have been left behind. But for those people who haven't lost their job ............because the government has been flooding the economy with money such as the Cares Act, there really is a lot of money sloshing around. This juicing of the economy because of something unrelated to economic issues is new. I don't think in 1918 they were passing out a lot of checks - and paying amounts of unemployment money that often when combined with State unemployment benefits surpassed their pay. I was released from my Biotech Challenged Charity Pledge and tol to help someone who needed help in my own neighborhood. A nice jester by the winner for sure! But even though I live in a relatively poor rural area, I could not think of a single person that actually needed help financially. Yes, anecdotal.
