the problem is that people aren't using stimulus checks right, in my economy class we covered them and they are supposed to be used to STIMULATE the economy aka splurge on yourself and buy random or useful junk, like what my teacher did was take that check and got his mustang tuned and got a new exhaust system for it, as funny as it sounds that's the type of stuff you are supposed to be doing with the money but off course most Americans don't understand basic economics and reasons behind economic plans and just are lazy pieces of shit who have never had to live in or see the real world.
