After these past 4 months? A hobbit would be a life goal.

I have a young child and going off grid and being left alone wouldn’t be that fair for her.

And the money will never go to rightful people.

Why whatever do You mean ?

First they must send the bulk of it to: hamA$$, iran, several warturds in Africa,drughunterxiden, thezer0, demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminazipedophilegoatrapers and of course can’t forget nazi pelouzy and upchuck slimeball.

After that then they will calculate it out and determine We The People get BUPKIS !!!

they also have to figure out how they are going to tack on the gun control crap plugs xiden wants.

“Im now hunkering down for 20 to 70 years. Land, greenhouses, underground dwelling, tax exemptions and hard, hard work to build up a real bank account. Like one with gold.”

I want to see a report in 2091 detailing how that works out for you.

Isn’t there already some trillion or two trillion dollar slush fund left over from the last stimulus bill? Why not just release that to people in need. Oops. It didn’t happen on TV, and it wasn’t a preapproved question, so SS men are whipping out their side arms.
