Millions of Americans should receive their $1,200 relief payments beginning Thursday, as the first wave of payouts for citizens impacted by coronavirus begins.

Today? With the Post Office closed? By the way, some got checks earlier this week already. Can’t tell you the source, would get me in trouble, so don’t ask.

[Lurker]

These will be people who have direct deposit from their 2018 taxes. I got an email from our accountant on this the other day.

Will the ink be dry?

Don’t touch those checks! They could be infected. Best to wipe them down first and run them through the dishwasher to be really safe.

Cue the article about the poverty stricken who did NOT get their checks in 3 ... 2 ... 1

With the Post Office closed?

[Sacajaweau]

Post Offices are not closed and my mailman comes every day except Sundays.

[Fido969]

“Checks”? Really? Will they be delivered by Western Union?

[lightman]

No direct deposit received yet.

[Vermont Lt]

I read next week. The direct deposits go out. Those getting checks are going to wait a lot longer.

Nice, but prices will shoot up as a direct result of this. Government creates dollars, but cannot create value. People working productively produce value.

[Vermont Lt]

The Fed is closed too.

Today is Good Friday. I know the stock market is closed.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Post Offices are not closed and my mailman comes every day except Sundays.

No wonder the illegitimacy rate is so high.

[lilypad]

Or send them to me.

[ASA Vet]

I’ll possibly be getting mail today. It’s not a Postal Holiday.

“Today is Good Friday. I know the stock market is closed.”

I wonder why our domestic enemies don’t howl about this mixture of church and state?

[SkyDancer]

Now waiting on the scammers and fraud phone calls/emails ... or tacky businesses that are still open for “Spend your stimulus check here for great values”
