I've had as many as six deliveries per day in the past 6 weeks. I'm ordering more items today and have items coming for the next 5 days as of right now. There's this thing called "The Internet" and it's uses extend just a bit further than a football message board running 12 year old software (or whatever). JFC. |

Giving people who earn in excess of $150K per year "Stimulus Money" wasn't to "keep food on the table", it was so those people would put it back into the economy in order to stave off a recession for just a little while longer. If the idea was to put "food on the table" for those in need, the bar would have been set far lower and most certainly under $100k. |

I have Spectrum "up to 500 mbps", which generally checks in around 450-475 but it's been lagging at times and slow, probably because I've got two kids in Zoom classrooms all day while my wife is working from a server, but it's definitely less responsive than normal. All of my neighbors are home so I'm sure that's part of it as well. |

IMHE is throwing in the towel on Missouri and several other states due to places opening back up for business.

Ouch.
I have the 500 mbps package through United Fiber. (I live just North of St Joe, which is a town of roughly 75k people) We pay about $60 per month. There have been periods of slowdowns, but only when they've been doing maintenance. I love having fast internet. |

And if people who got any amount of stimulus who weren't in a position where they needed it at this time then I hope they put it into savings but that's just moranic of me to think that will actually happen, apparently. |

Married Couples filing Jointly whose AGI is $150,001-$198,000 receive $600 per adult and $500 per child. Married Couples whose AGI was greater $198,001 received zero. If a Married couple whose AGI was greater than $150k needed $1,200 dollars in order to get by for 10 weeks, they have much bigger problems than the pandemic. Quote:
Saving it does absolutely nothing for the economy and in the end, what's $1,200 to people who's AGI is greater than $150k? |

Yeah, I had a good friend that lived on Victoria Island earlier this decade and the only internet service available to him was via satellite, which was slow and expensive.
