I think it’s $150,000 for a two-adult household, based on what I’ve read so far. Yeah I was confused because different articles worded it differently and I couldn't make sense of what was correct. Yup. I’ve been trying to figure it out for the last day, since we’re a two adult household with an income between $75000 and $150000. We’re not the ones who really need it, so if we do get the full $2400, we will be donating some of it and putting some of it into the local economy to get some electrical work done on our house. 🙂

I did just apply for TEPSLF, not that I'm banking on getting it, since so few people do. PSLF is such a joke.

Please please please cancel student debt I am in support of this but I hope they continue to suspend payments as well. 50k will help a lot of people but almost everyone I know will still owe plenty after 50k is wiped out.

And then 600 only for the adults or also for the kids? $600 also for kids, but not for adult dependents, such as college students. They're supposedly getting their own payments? Idk. It's disgraceful

So do they go by the wages line or the AGI line? And is the child credit independent of your income? Like if you claimed a child, you get the $600?

Oh this is really good news THIS IS AMAZING!!!! We have a significant (and growing) Micronesian and Marshallese population and this was one of the biggest barriers we face! Omg. I took the whole two weeks of break off for the first time in years but I still just texted all my coworkers. I'm so excited.

We got nothing before even with 2 kids

I always hate myself during holiday weeks for not taking any extra days off. Me too. So this year I was like screw it, I'm taking 2 weeks. See ya in the new year, boss. (My boss is good to me, fortunately). Ditto! It feels good.

Holy shit Navalny (the guy who was poisoned in Russia) managed to speak to the team who tracked him. They applied the poison in his underpants.
I'm watching this on CNN. I dont have an article yet.

Well poop. We just got an email informing us that DD3's preschool group had a positive case. The last contact was on the 15th, so she's in quarantine until the 25th. Nbd for us because we didn't have any plans, but she has been coughing the last couple nights and DD2 and I have colds (mostly stuffy nose / sneezing). So I bet we'll need to get tested. I can't imagine it's covid with the stuffy nose as the major symptom?

$600 after 9 months is embarrassing and we should be ashamed as a country. Unfortunately we seem as a nation to be immune to shame and being the laughing stock of the world. 🤦🏻♀️ H and I were just ranting on this. And how people have been brainwashed into thinking this shit is a handout instead of directing their anger at the gajillionaires who are just getting more gajillioned during this pandemic.

@crimsonclover our pediatrician has seen kids testing positive with just stuffy or runny noses.

Like trying to make buildings more green and LEED certified and stuff? The horror.

The electrician came. The problem was with the circuit breaker, not the stove. He fixed it for us.

So much this part. I could rant for days about it. But I know you all get it so I’ll save us all. I’m just very unhappy about how my taxes are being used right now. (ETA: in that I would like more direct help coming with our money put into the system).
