It's good to see *someone* at least putting their stimulus money
back into the American economy rather than growing their own and
buying Chinese big screen TV's. They were grown in Mexico, right?

I check the label for Made in USA, likely Florida. Some Canadian green house ones are on shelves too.

I'm using my three stimulus payments toward remodeling my kitchen.
New flooring, cabinets, countertops, sink, lighting, and sundries (like a new
garbage disposal).

It's going to be a very busy spring and summer.

They send money to everyone, & not just those who need it? That sounds a
lot like communism to me.

Here, one is disqualified for Covid payments if one works or does not
have a pension. Otherwise, there would not be enough to go around for all
the 'new' Canadians. (And money from Quebec for 'nouveux Canadiens').

Here it is sort of contest between the feds & the provinces to see who
can be more efficient about spending money they do not have.

Sure, if you define "communism" in a very weird way.

There's a pretty generous income cap. My retired husband and I
fall below it, so we got the full payments. The combined total of
the three payments will cover the new cabinets and maybe the
garbage disposal.

The idea is to give a _lot_ of people some extra money so they'll go out
and spend it. There were additional expanded unemployment benefits
for those in industries that were stricken by the shutdowns. My
military-industrial complex job was deemed "essential", so I've been
working right along.

Military-industrial complex used to be a thing. Industry split for China, and
points beyond, because of governmental over-regulation. Look to Detroit for
confirmation.
Now we have a government-information technology complex which makes us far
less capable of defending ourselves. One nuke and the whole shebang
collapses. Ain´t life grand!

My customers are on the design end of military hardwa tanks (and mobile

The purpose it two fold. One is to help people that lost their job from
the pandemic, the other is for everyone to spend the money to stimulate
the economy. There is an upper income limit though.

Then this definitely isn't communism.

Isn't there also something about ownership of the means of production?

That was Marx. I can go along with that to some degree. I believe that
there is a need for rewards for performance. I have issues with abuse of
the system. I understand that he need to have a welfare system to take
care of those who are in need of assistance. I don't think that it
should be permanent situation for the able bodied. If there is work and
they won't do it they don't deserve help. They are just plain lazy and
other people should not have to work to pay for their support.

Good investment that you will enjoy for years. Most expensive room in
the house but has the best return for people that cook.

Good use for that money, Cindy. You'll have something to show for it.
Are you planning to mosty DYI the remodel?

I used this last stimulus check to have necessary repairs done to the
HVAC system in the attic before I really have to start using the AC this
year. Last Summer there was condensation dripping through the ceiling.
Not a good thing. The check prior to that covered my cat's vet bill
when she got sick and had a bladder stone.

I'm sure lots of people ran out and bought a bunch of stuff they likely
didn't need because hey, "free money" and "stimulate the economy". I
used mine for practical, essential things.

Mostly. We've got a guy lined up to do some repairs on the ceiling.
The flooring and countertops will be installed by pros. We'll call
in a couple of friends to help us hang the upper cabinets. But other
than that, it'll probably all be done by the two of us.

Well aren't you a cut above anyone else in this miserable world then!

Anyone who spent it on stuff they "didnt need" is of course guilty of
stimulating only their own giant cucumber-sized clits!

The guitars I've seen were made with sound craftsmanship skills. It's not something one can make in a concentration camp. Some Chinese national bought a house on the block where I grew up. They demolished the old house and are building a huge duplex. We call them "monster houses." Buying all the Chinese guitars I can get my stinkin' hands on is my way of expressing my rage against the Chinese and their monster houses.

No point in buying a bunch of guitars. I have a few, but they meet certain needs.
My standard is my 1996 Blueshawk. I have small hands, and the neck is a perfect
fit. I have a 12-string. I have a cheapo solid body guitar that is tuned down 3 half
steps that I used for one song because the chords were 1st position, and there
was a vocal note that was too high pitched for me to reliably hit w/o squeaking. I
should sell that. I should also sell my Samick fretted bass. I'm not a bass player,
and only used it to compose, but my cheapo fretless would work fine for that. It's
feather light, strung B-E-A-D with tapewounds, and has crappy pickups. I really
should sell that too. It plays beautifully, and if a young person bought it and
replaced the pickups, they could get really creative with it. Maybe I could donate
it to a school.

I did make progress in getting rid of stuff I'll never use again. I gave my son my
skateboard, a 9.125" deck with soft wheels, perfect for filming, and I'd be a fool
to ever skate again. We're in getting rid of stuff mode in general, decluttering.

You should have an instrument that allows you to use your abilities to
the fullest. I'm going to buy a guitar with no strings. Would be
perfect for my musical ability.

We were in the same house 40 years. When getting ready to move, I made
a LOT of trips to the Salvation Army depot and assorted collection
boxes. After moving still got rid of a dew things.

Unless you're disabled in some way, why is it foolish to ever skate

I also got a $4 pack of corn cobs from Trader Joes. Few stores had cobs in 2020, so I made it rain for the fancy cob growers.
The tomato supplies vary by store, Mexican, Canadian, Canadian corporation grown in Mex.
