    To the capitalist, every luxury of the worker seems to be reprehensible, and everything that goes beyond the most abstract need – be it in the realm of passive enjoyment, or a manifestation of activity – seems to him a luxury.

      Just cut out your daily Starbucks and you’ll have $1400 in 9 months.

      If women can wait 9 months to have a baby, I think you can wait 9 months for a stimulus check. And like the baby, you’ll have made this one on your own. #girlboss

    "Turn everything you enjoy into an attempt to make profit" and all this hustle is such an insidious way to keep people busy while sucking all joy out of the little time we are allowed to be free from work.

      Like for real...the whole point of a hobby is that your livelihood doesn't depend on it. No matter what it is: once you start trying to make a living or supplemental income off of it your entire approach to it has to change at some point because you're beholden to the market and/or your patrons.

    Honestly it would be more responsible of them to just tell people to become meth dealers at this point

    Did these people miss the part where its been called STIMULUS? The whole point is to get people to BUY MORE SHIT not less. I swear these people can't even do capitalism right.

      Biden doesn't owe you anything! The Democrats were the compromise! DO YOU WANT TRUMP TO BE PRESIDENT AGAIN, YOU RACIST?!

      We are definitely not on the fast track to fascism in 2022, no sire-ree.

    I switched debit cards so some payments stopped that were auto draw. I saved maybe $30?
