The gist of the answer is the same answer as "Why is a big jar of Hellman's mayonnaise $6.99 in NY, and only $2.99 in Alabama (e.g.)"

Because people used to being gouged will pay it.

Gee, I’m glad I don’t like mayonnaise !

And the formulations are different in different parts of the country as well as the formulations for summer and winter are also different.

I just learned a couple weeks ago that mayo is a white thing and I'm 50 yrs old and grew up in the D, south of 8 mile and never heard this urban legend (I'm white by the way)

Telly cut me some slack because because I put hot sauce on EVERYTHING

I posted way back in this thread also, that the Federal government is not set up to give out money, only take it.

Conversely, Big Oil is set up to pump it at full capacity. Not choke the flow way back.

They are (both) in uncharted territory, and have to scramble to come up with a scenario that they never imagined. As greedy and short-sighted as that is......

I’m sorry, did I miss something here? Why are you offended by this?

I’m not offended necessarily, I was just using an example of how people are receiving these checks and are still working or in her case, not working at a physical 40 hour day job but is a stay at home mom. It was more a surprise to me that she had received one because as I said she hasn’t worked for almost 6 years. I see this may have struck a chord with some people and I meant nothing against anybody, at this point I might as well delete my posts if I can and unsubscribe from the thread.

We’re still waiting for my wife’s which is quite worrying as I’ve had mine about a week now and I may have to look it up. What really concerns me is that she’s an immigrant, but has been a citizen for about 20 years now. Idk if this is a valid concern or not. I’m glad that just about everybody is getting one because we’re all affected by this to some degree.

The post was more to be light hearted with the Oprah joke(stolen from Bill Burr I admit) and to just vent a bit as my sister and I have a bit of a mixed relationship. I get it, like I wrote before it doesn’t paint me in the best light, it was in response to a couple others who were saying it’s “like an umbrella and covers everybody”(my words not quoting anybody, this was my understating to what was being said.)

Don't apologize for you opinions, DMig.

As long as we all remain civil, it's what makes a good thread a great one.

All of us are affected in a different way by this, and we all have our own opinions and unique situations.

All of them interesting, IMO.

As long as we all don't turn into a FaceBook cesspool of humanity, I think this thread lets us all vent a little over an unprecedented situation.

DMig, if you filed together on your taxes why wouldn't you have gotten 1, larger check

My Wife and myself file jointly, and we got our check last week.

Appreciate that PaulMys!

Turns out I can’t delete the post anyways so I’ll just keep my flame suit on for the mean time.

Hope things are well for you, you’re an active member of the community and I always enjoy seeing your posts, “thanks” and “likes” that you contribute to so many threads and others’ posts.

My wife’s second job is contract work so we claim some business expenses related to products and tools. Her boss is also very late on getting her taxes done and sending the proper tax forms to us, like week of April 15th late!
