This virus is as much a disease to the "rat race" and "living paycheck to paycheck" as it is to us

It might be time to triage elements of precarious existence associated with life in the lower classes and see if we all (Everyone in general and the working and "middle" class) and see if they are worth saving.

will get a one time check. People like me barely covering cost, living poor will not get anything out of this package while people making more, still on the payroll, and working safely from home will get 1200 and corporations billions.

They are going off 2017 tax returns. I worked half a year then moved so only made about 12K. 2018 I could only find minimum wage jobs so at 21K.

2104-2016 3 yrs at 32K

2017 12K

2018 21K

2019 26K

So, it looks like I am screwed out of any of that 1200, right?

I am the one that has to stay at home with out a paycheck. My boss, sitting safe in his office upstairs, protected from public will get 1200.
