Quote:A one-time $600 stimulus payment isn’t going to cut it, according to Black Lives Matter — which is demanding the government issue monthly checks instead.

“Black business ownership: 40% decline. Eviction risks: 40 mil. people Black families are struggling to keep roofs over their heads, food in their bellies, and healthcare covered,” BLM wrote on its Twitter on New Year’s Eve. “This isn’t about a stimulus. This is about survival. And $600 aint it. We demand monthly checks.”

Lawmakers have been warring over sending $2,000 stimulus checks to Americans, a move passed by the Democrat-led House but so far stymied by the GOP-controlled Senate.

The group didn’t respond to Fox News on whether it has approached the incoming Biden administration with its proposal.

Putting the entire population on welfare-for-life actually is the logical endpoint of progressive/left economics. So in that sense, what they’re saying makes sense. And other left-wing groups and candidates have espoused similar ideas in the past. Never got anywhere with it, of course.

What’s changed is the political environment, and how much of the country is now open/receptive to such a policy.

Sure but we gonna cut a bunch of the other stuff in exchange

The government either needs to extend/enhance unemployment in industries particularly hurt by their restrictions or remove the restrictions and let the people work.

The first video I posted here, has an interesting explanation about what is going on.
