Looking for the graphic of other countries payments to citizens

I meant to save it.

It showed 4 other countries
Canada
England
Denmark
And maybe Germany?

Who all are directly paying citizens to stay home.

Way more than the paltry 1 time $1200 payment

(And without having their country leader’s signature on the checks.)

Does someone have it? Please post again.

Can you imagine Justin Trudeau or Angela Merkel demanding their name printed on payment checks to citizens?

Of course not.

It sucks that we're stuck with such an infantile and self-aggrandizing sociopath.

Socialism is the root to all evil i suppose.
though from what i hear giving people money to stay home isn't necessarily a socialist thing to do...

It was more like a meme with pictures and four quadrants

But thank you. This will help! I want my friends to see how other countries actually care for their citizens and avoid food lines and unemployment surges

Because here in the USA, if you are unemployed during this time you are getting an additional $2400.00 a month, on top of your States unemployment compensation.

The $1200.00 stimulus doesn’t tell the whole story.

Do you mean that other Countries companies are continuing to pay their employees even if they aren’t working, and they are getting those sums in addition to their normal paychecks?

I’m honestly not sure how it all works, but why are the other Countries giving the extra money monthly if the population isn’t out of work, or without a paycheck?
