First of all let’s all take ten seconds to take a deep breath…. now exhale. These last months in America have been nothing short of chaotic with the emergence of the global pandemic COVID-19. Due to this many people have been laid off their jobs and are now searching for ways to make money in this stagnant economy. Alas, their efforts have proven to be mainly unfruitful as the job market is scarce at the moment, another effect of the pandemic. So at this point, people are now turning to the government and asking for assistance in such a tough time. In response to this the US government has proposed a bill that will award every U.S citizen above the age of 17 a grand total of 1,200 dollars each, in an effort to stabilize and keep the U.S economy afloat.
- many Americans are stocking up on necessities in order to prepare for the epidemic.
Finally.. They’re finally doing something right. True in comparison to other nations like Canada, where their citizens will be awarded around 2,000 dollars per month of quarantine, our new bill seems well quite frankly… not good. But when one takes into account the population and the capitalistic ideals already engraved into American society this bill truly isn’t that bad. With this money a lot of families will be able to pay rent and keep their heads above water during the upcoming times.

-watch as congress officially passes the bill.
We all are going to go through some unprecedented changes within our society due to corona backlash, many of us will be put in trying times. In spite of this if the government can fully step up and support its people in their time of great the inevitable impact of this era could be greatly cushioned.
