Data show lots of ‘Covid relief’ stimulus checks went directly into financial markets, not spent on necessities. Thanks, Suckers!

At least 10% of my household’s is going or will shortly go into various charities.
‘Tis the season of Lent when almsgiving is especially encouraged.

And if you spend them on necessities, guess what? Those who receive your money, they put them into the financial markets. That’s where all the money goes.

Guess, what. All of my stimulus checks went into my trading account. I have no need to buy more stuff that I don’t need, especially junk from China.

Thanks for the reminder. My blood money from ‘Uncle Sugar’ was deposited on March 17th.
It’s just going to sit in savings.

Oh no, people are saving money!
Also, don’t forget the $86 billion going to Union pension plans, that will go straight into the markets, minus a cut for the union thugs.
And the state and local bailout money also is likely to shore up a lot of pension plans on the public sector side.

Sorry, I don’t believe it.
Sure a lot of FReepers and others like them might have done that, the ones who didn’t invest in ammo, But I bet most of it went into Nike gear, Game machines, food and liquor.

I donate generously to various charities every month. I have no debt. I’m retired and live alone.
Given all that, I took the $1400 from Uncle Sam, added my state and federal income returns to it and invested the whole shottin’ mess in the market. Seemed the logical thing to do.

We’re using ours to buy two standard poodles. We’re naming them ‘Biden’ and ‘Harris’.

A bit more than 10%.
They need it more than me.

All of you fools who supporter “Trump Bucks” in the amount of $2K, but now oppose “Biden Bucks” please raise your hand for hypocrisy. ;)
