Why not hire people to dress up as John D. Rockefeller and hand out dimes? It would do about as much good

1. as soon as

all Senators agree to live on $400/month

2. If this is in fact the only thing that the Republicans in the Senate

can agree to do, go from $600 per week to $400 per month they can kiss the Senate goodbye.

They have got to know that.

3. A lot of people will finally *really* understand

what people on welfare and very low-wage underemployed people have long been dealing with.

4. This should make the poor white guys out of work happy.

They voted for their own demise. When one complains tell them to go check their last vote for president.

Hey, trump voters, trump DOES NOT have a little black book to list those who voted for him to spare them his wraith. Your gonna get just as fucked as all of those people you hate.

5. As long as the bulls....

are running wild in the market (thanks to Powell, Munchkins, and company) and setting records, they don't really give a shit about the unemployed. Yes, it would be nice to have the percentage lower for the run-up to the election, but Il Douche uses the market as a gauge for his overall performance. For him everything is monetized and transactional. Also, the ugly reality is that many business have found that they can still generate decent profits/earnings during this crisis after divesting themselves of one of their largest expenses - labor.

6. A hundred dollars is one trip to Walmart.

You can't even afford hamburger for that. You could do rice and beans abd some frozen veggies.
