I get one side of it, but getting the population vaccinated while simultaneously putting 1500 in each persons pocket would be quite the shot in the ass to the economy (sort of pun intended).

Probably should go ahead and turn off the utilities for households that don't get the vaccine.

And if history holds correct, the government usually treats anybody that makes over $100-150K rich, sometimes $200K. Which means A LOT of your small business owners. |

As a SBO, I'll say when we were able to open back up money was pouring in because people were spending their stimulus money they hadn't blown at Mendards, Walmart and Amazon. All those places that made record profits in 2020.

I don't think the government has an actual category called "rich" but if you mean anyone making over 150K ends up in the top 20% paying 80% of the taxes then yea.

The ability for a 3rd party the "needs" your vaccination information to look it up. Once that happens, the sky is the limit. Data mining, advertising, who knows what else. And sure, you're can make it explicitly opt-in but when you go to Walmart that one time and give them permission, are they going to give you a 3-page privacy notice that tells you that opting in one time gives them access for 30 days after you leave? |

"The rich need to pay their fair share" as they hand out stimulus checks to everybody that makes $75K or less and leave the rest of us to fend for ourselves. |

I get it. I was mocking the cost of living here in Ca and joking $1500 doesnt get you much. I dont mean to downplay its significance for others in troubling times
