At the end of the day, we do a lot of the same public assistance programs as the Europeans, just in the dumbest, most inefficient way possible.

Right? I'd prefer if these businesses got the funding (and healthcare and PPE) that other countries give to their businesspeople.

But hey, if the Orange Fuckwit wants to send more money out, I'm gonna make sure it goes to the right people, like I did with my "Stimulus Check" with his putrid name scrawled on the bottom.

    with his putrid name scrawled on the bottom.

So they really did end up with his signature printed on them? I recall there was a lot of writing online about it in the weeks before the checks went out, but then online attention was quickly diverted to the next scandal.

Correct.

Those who received physical checks had it.
