    I just had $1200 wired into my account ...

    It's not my birthday, and it's certainly not Christmas.
    I'm not unemployed - wait, yes I am because I'm retired
    and have been for a coon's age. But I didn't just lose my job
    and my business went the way of the Dodo when I retired
    so why did Uncle Sam send me money ?
    Not that I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth mind you and
    I'm certainly not ungrateful and no, I'm not sending it back,
    but maybe Uncle Sam should choose more wisely to whom he
    sends his good cheer. There are many more deserving than I.

      DT they did it that way because it could get done quickly. Try to draw a selective line and the effort descends into bickering about who's ox gets gored.

        But those who need help are saying none has come -I'm guessing because
        their help will come via mail as opposed to being wired.
        It's obviously a complex operation and not helped by the incompetent bureaucrats.

          If mine shows up I'll spread it around at the restaurants and coffee shops. Gave $250 to the food bank which I'll deduct from the tab being passed on to future generations. If I don't do that it'll end up being invested in 2A related American wealth creation.
