Line item in my checking account this morning.
US Treasury Dept.- Covid-19(CORVIR) Stimulus   +$1200

You must have more need than I do.
The “ need” factor is a priority for sending out checks.

Yes, you've said that, with no support. That was what prompted my comment.

How the IRS or anybody else in the federal government would know your "need factor" versus mine is a mystery.

Well. It is to you.

And everybody else in the world, but you, who knows all things and talks about them vaguely.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Yeah, the undocumented work force in Yuma picking your lettuce for next to nothing despite the risk to their health.

There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each as any had need.

Heroes on the ground and in the House. Villains in the White House, Senate majority, and Fox News.

Some of each, as always.

On the national stage, Fauci and Birx continue to be heroes. The captain of the aircraft carrier is a hero - might not have been, but by the military's yanking him off his ship for exposing the extent of the problem (which finally got his bosses to act), they made him into a bit of a martyr. His crew gave him a loud and convincingly supportive send-off as he left the ship, ostensibly in disgrace.

And in many state houses' corner offices.

Yeah - tough business, that officer thing.

I trust he will be re-assigned and be ok, head high.

Villains are mainly among the on air presenters, writers, researchers, editors, lawyers and executives.

I’m giving the technical, administrative, and custodial staff the benefit of the doubt.

The HR department is famously villainous. There have been several recent movies on the topic if you find you have some time on your hands.

He added that people were "taking the Chinese number of 80-something thousand infections and saying, 'look how great they did it and look how bad we're doing it' -- and that's not only wrong, that's a national security issue. We know that that is a propaganda-influenced effort that they're undertaking, along with Putin in Russia and even the Iranians. And national security and the national interest of this country does not stop -- that's an ongoing concern even amidst this crisis."
