Again, as many others have said, this absolutely will not "make or break me". I'm very fortunate - I've been gainfully employed for many, many years, and have not had to spend on children or anything like that, being a single and childless loser!

But there certainly will be people in this group that will say "Trump gave me 2 checks, and now I'm not getting shit from Biden". I realize they're looking at through a ridiculously oversimplified lens, but "it is what it is".
