about 30% of this country want to make it worst and at the end of the day many of them would also be screwed. We live in truly one of the most screwed up places on earth if you aint part of the elites.

US$1200 to everybody making under $75k, plus $500 per child under 17.

Unemployment insurance flat increase of US$600 a week in addition to normal UI. This is greater than 100% of salary for most people. This lasts until July 31st, which is over 4 full months from when the law was passed.

UK is paying BUSINESSES, not people, 80% of their employee's salaries (up to 2500 GBP, ~US$3100) if they don't lay them off. The program lasts until the end of June.

Denmark is paying BUSINESSES, not people, 75% of their employee's salaries (up to 4k euros, ~US$3500) if they don't lay them off. The program lasts until June 9th.

Canada is sending workers affected by the coronavirus shutdown CAN$2000 for 4 months (US$1400).

Why don't you do even a little bit of fact checking before assuming it's true?

The US stimulus and support is better than all of these other responses.
