So far, more than 2 million have signed a petition calling for $2,000 monthly stimulus checks for every American. This petition was started by Stephanie Bonin, a Colorado restaurant owner, and was first posted on Change.org last year, reports Business Insider.

In Bonin’s petition statement, she says that she is one of millions of Americans who fear for their financial future because of the COVID-19 crisis. “With businesses and schools closing across the country to control the spread of this virus, many people have already lost their jobs. Others are being forced to stay home. This is catastrophic for working families like mine.”

“I’m calling on Congress to support families with a $2,000 payment for adults and a $1,000 payment for kids immediately, and continuing regular checks for the duration of the crisis,” said Bonin. “Otherwise, laid-off workers, furloughed workers, the self-employed, and workers dealing with reduced hours will struggle to pay their rent or put food on the table,” she said.

It would certainly get us to hyper-inflation faster. Stock up on precious metals.

“many people have already lost their jobs. Others are being forced to stay home.”

And millions more refuse to get off their couches to go to work because they are receiving “free” gooberment money, just like you are agitating to continue.

Quit looking for someone to pay you not to work and get a job, Steph.

The virus is just about done. Three months at 2,000 a pop. I’ll take it. I’m sick of debt going to foreign countries and the lazy bums. I said it before. We’re going down the tubes. I want to have something before the suffering starts because it’s going to.

Lol. Companies have not paid good wages in decades. Well the CEO does pretty good even when they are fired.

Why just $2000 a month? What a piker. Also, we will need millions more illegals since no one else will work at any price. Of course, a sandwich will cost a hundred USD today and maybe a $1000 the following week.
