    Right? There’s people still spouting that “all of that money from the pandemic” is somehow still sustaining the lives of thousands and thousands of people 4 years later.

      I straight up told a coworker he’s a “fucking dumbass piece of shit” if he thinks anyone is somehow still running on 2-3 checks of $1000 three years later, because either he’s too stupid to realize that’s only one week of pay for him or he has an ulterior motive for continuing to lie about something he knows isn’t true. So which is it, dumb or lying, because we both know that’s bullshit.

      He stood there for a second staring at me and goes “yeah I suppose that’s not THAT much…”

      Of course absolutely nothing about his other right-wing bs changed but at least he hasn’t brought up “pandemic money” again.

        Seriously. They act like it’s 1924 not 2024, when ~$3,000 was the equivalent of ~$55,000 today.
