      Saying "at least 1200" is more effective I think. Talking about a higher amount turns it into an argument over VUVUZELA IPHONE, but we already had a 1200 check so people see it as possible.

      And yes, people are that dumb, they can believe 1300 is impossible while 1200 is possible

        America is the scary tilt-a-whirl that had me screaming, "STOP THE RIDE" when I was five.

        I'd agree to something as low $100 if it was made monthly. That sort of thing would be harder to take away once granted.

          Monthly forever would be maybe worth it, but upfront money is needed to cushion people through the current emergency

            That's a good point too. It's just looking like they'll give pennies - whether it's short or long term. Securing the precedent is the only thing I hope for - unless there's another protest movement to force them to do better.
