I was always taught as a rule of thumb there are two industries that will never go up in smoke… Medicare, and Hospitality… I’m a bartender at a very high traffic club. We have watched no only tips but bar revenue hit an all time low since december. And it’s actually getting worse week by week.

I know that it won’t hit rock bottom, because we’re how people forget about their money problems… til either the end of the night with the tab, or the credit card summary.

P.s. My mama always taught me not to spend money, to save money. 1.9 trillion in a month….. world record….. here we go again. Don’t blame me though, I didn’t vote for him.

Apparently people who don’t get withheld also don’t get no stimulus. I suppose they get to pay less into the quarterlies.

Actually, it is $12.81 a week. Multiply by 52 weeks, it is almost exactly $666. Coincidence?

So this is the “middle class tax cut” for 95% of Americans that our Messiah promised during the campaign?

Why do I feel we just collectively drank the Kool-Aid?

Sorry, another post. Just saw this: “Or I could be completely wrong and consumers will actually wait until June, after which there will be a sudden increase in weekly purchases of lottery tickets, fast food, and alcohol.” and just couldn’t resist.

Look on a bright side. Lottery tickets create revenue for a cash-strapped states like NY. Fast food and alcohol are both made in America and hence help American economy. At the time of last stimulus there was a joke that the things one should buy to help the US economy are beer, cigarettes and prostitutes. Everything else would help Chinese economy or that of some other country.
