๐The Mother of All Tech Bubbles is Bursting - The Big September Sell-off has Started
๐The Mother of All Tech Bubbles is Bursting - The Big September Sell-off has Started
Stocks are plummeting with tech and growth among the hardest hit in the worst sell-off of the summer. The NASDAQ is cratering. Dow ends more than 800 points lower. Looks like a stampede towards the exits. The tech Bubble is now Bigger than The Dot Com Bubble. US Stock Market Cap to GDP Ratio Reaches 190%, Eclipsing the Dot-Com Bubble High. Big rallies often come to an ugly end .Nothing goes straight up. It looks like the markets might finally be facing reality. Many people need to be reminded that bubbles don't last forever. The markets won't keep going up forever. At some point, they will simply plateau and finally start going down. It's was already trading like a Ponzi scheme.Nobody was selling , just enjoying the paper gains, and getting high euphoria on them. Should Dow be at 19k? No. But should Dow be at 29k? Also no. And the tech companies simply ain't worth this much, period. We could have another 10% fall, easily. If people start thinking fundamentals, If the mindset changes from technicals to fundamentals, then this market has further to go down.We could have another 10% fall, easily", Economist Mohamed El-Erian told CNBC this morning. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Please take a second to smash that like button. And as You know friends, I rely on your donations to keep this channel functional; as you know, it takes a crazy amount of research and time to bring you this content on a daily basis, so I hope you consider helping with whatever donation you can afford. Thank You. The stock indexes reached their final target yesterday, which was a top gap fill on the Dow left when it started to tank in February. Nice 5 month technical rally, but now there could be a sell the tops decline down towards the March lows; a lot of gaps to fill. The Nasdaq Composite, which has rallied hard over the weeks, tumbled nearly 5% on Thursday as high-flying tech stocks took a breather. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones also suffered big losses, dropping 3.5% and 2.8%, respectively. Stocks typically face choppy waters in September. Apple Lost $180 Billion In Market Value on Thursday.a rotten day for technology shares. It’s the Biggest Loss For Any Company Ever. And remember the saying: as Apple goes, so goes the market. All the big money sold last week, and all the puppets are left holding the bag, saying to themselves, "I thought I was a genius, my stocks kept going up." Something Big is about to happen.. something about September.... market crash 1929, 9/11, 2008 crash, last year repo market went on steroids, dot com bubble also happened in September... DANG, WHAT'S GOING DOWN THIS SEPTEMBER. The sucking sound of millions of millennials fapping with their Robinhood accounts suddenly crying out in pain. There goes the new gaming console. The unpredictable is getting to be pretty predictable. Drive the market up and run to a safe harbor. Drive it down. Buyback in. Drive it up and run to a safe harbor. And start all over. Sooner or later, the little investors are going to pay the piper when a downturn runs away. The buyers magically appear in the final 30 minutes as usual. The first legalized Ponzi scheme in history can set one closing high after another, but can't set a closing low to save itself—intervention at every turn. Now it begins. 1) Market Drop of 70-80%. 2) Home Equity Slaughter: at least 50%- Delaying Evictions and Foreclosures is a brilliant strategy used by Private Equity, Hedge Funds, & Oligarchs. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin will delay and delay until one day, 20 million houses hit the market with 50 million unemployed, and boomers are 401K's down 50%+. Housing market will implode. The biggest Fire sale of all time. PRIME real estate picked up for pennies. 3) Social Security and Medicare are next. Monster deficit+ no tax base + huge mob of unemployed=Grandma and Grandpa, your livelihood is on the chopping block. Prepare for serfdom. This is how do you transfer the wealth of a country of 350 million people into the hands of 100,000 people? By Central banks' Booms and Busts, and Lies Lies and more Lies. The lie that stocks always go up, that housing always goes up, that social security will be there when you are old etc. This is Neofeudalism and NeoSerfdom. Time for the FOMO and Irrationally Exuberant to get carried out. The big boys figured out that we're nowhere near an economic recovery, and they need to cover their assets.The FED will print money and purchase (inflate) this stock market to infinity. It is a LEGALIZED CHEAT in the stock market game. The Fed is gambling our Social Security money and taxes on the market. I hope they don't lose it on the roulette. It pays 48%, losing 2% overtime It's a Ponzi scheme and totally manipulated by elite players and unnamed bankers who will never be held accountable or responsible. And the population will probably never know what went on behind all those closed doors. The Fed's BUY button is on the bench for troubleshooting and repair. Eight hundred eighty-one thousand additional unemployment claims filed for the week ending August 29 .A number that will later be quietly revised up, as is the case every week, as unemployment claims are now approaching 60,000,000 over the last 24 weeks. 8.4% are no longer reporting unemployed because congress went on vacation and failed to extend unemployment benefits. LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL. HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN! They'll say anything to keep the savings and pensions fully invested in the stock market until the big crash that will unleash the civil war/revolution. Bankers bought/hoarded all the grain in France to unleash the French revolution. Same playbook. The market runs on lies, and sheeple love lies and illusions. The fed and stock market learned how to make money from crooks, and now they are implementing their tactics in today's market. Strait crooks. All to hide massive financial fraud. Federal Reserve Bank is robbing the Treasury. Corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities are junk. So they sell to FED. Money reform is coming. Argue about anything you want! It is like before any other bloody conflict. Money reform! Your wealth will cease to exist in one way or another... Blame the other side! The system has been gamed since 1913 against you. The middle class was the cartilage between the rich and the poor. It is pretty much gone now. What happens next is predictable. Serfdom for the masses is the goal of the elites. You will have 0.01% who are the oligarchs. Another 5% will be government enforcement with the weapons. The rest will be living the Hunger Games and be depopulated. It is going according to plan. The economic chaos is threatening the market value of equity held by the six mega-corporations owned by the Too Big To Fail banks. The bankers are exercising the covert ownership of the FR Board of Governors, Inc., to protect their equity. The Fed’s increasingly strained attempts to rationalize ever more aggressive monetary policy via ratcheting inflation targets higher are pure sophistry. It wants easier money to keep Wall Street product prices levitating and enable big spenders in Washington. That any part of the mainstream financial media can take it seriously is a testament to its willingness to abandon any pretense of critical analysis. I think the Fed Needs to redefine itself to the World as a Standalone Nation Banker that no longer holds responsibility or respects the Citizens of the USA. They are just the Casino House. It's all they can handle. But they will have to find someone else's Money to play with. And what the hell of a Ponzi scheme it is. The market breadth is in only six stocks! SIX!!! Watch as yields rise. It begins to turn. But going back to 1928, when stocks rose 5% or more in August, and the June to August return was top 25%, the market often struggled in September and October. If it was a relatively normal year minus COVID19, social unrest, high unemployment rate, election year, then I would take heed to these pronostications. But this is not your grandfather’s stock market. Everything is fair game for 2020! Here's a scary thought. In September 1929, a young new stockbroker in Pittsburgh named Richard Lerach took his small inheritance and family money and invested it all in the booming stock market. He never saw what hit him. I am thinking of a bad mix between COVID, US debt becoming higher than GDP, real unemployment might be that 940,000 or maybe a million. Housing prices and rent are going up, yet eviction is on pause. People are getting their bills late, loan rates, and the dollar losing value. It takes time for all of these things to affect the economy. It just so happens that it started in March it took six months for this monster hit now. I think more of a correction to reflect what is happening in the US. It will be mathematically impossible to control the debt. The US will eventually default; the dollar will be worthless. FED and government have no cash. US is trillions in debt borrowing money from the future by issuing IOU to banks at 0% interest..no free-market capitalist economy would do that. The U.S. trade deficit unexpectedly surged 18.9% in July to $63.6 billion from an upwardly revised $53.5 billion in June. This is the widest trade deficit since 2008. Trump promised to win on trade. Instead, we're losing big-league. Inflation can be easily tamed by raising interest rates. As we know, to bankers, raising interest rates is like forcing vampires into the sunlight. So now we have the worst of two worlds—ever-increasing debt and near to zero interest rates. We thought it was bad when we realized the purchasing power of our dollar was cut by 98% since 1915. But The Power That Be don't see it that way. They just plod ahead and do their most damn to devalue the dollar by another 98%. If all the interest on all the debt is eventually owed to you, you can keep devaluing currency through debt creation until the cows come home, and you'll end up owning everything and everybody.

๐This is Why Nasdaq and S&P 500 made new All-Time Highs !!
๐This is Why Nasdaq and S&P 500 made new All-Time Highs !!
Nasdaq and S&P 500 made new All-Time Highs - Are They now too Big To Fail? The stock market is going to the moon! Not even the pandemic could stop this bull. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 made new all-time highs last week. This is the biggest Ponzi in history. The stock market is now too big to fail. In fact, by definition, every Ponzi scheme is Too-Big-To-Fail. Until one day, The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Logic would have Wall Street to catch up to Main Street. But the Fed is pumping so much liquidity into the system. This stock market is too rigged to fail. A million here, a million there. Before you know it, you're talking real unemployment and a first-class depression. This is the greatest swindle in the history of mankind. Those dollars created by the Fed to push stocks higher have come from the paychecks, pensions, and savings of working Americans; The Middle Class who produce real products and services. At the core of this system of massive theft and plunder is the Fed and central and fractional reserve banks everywhere. There are fewer and fewer big companies that pull the stock market along. A great many of them are getting wealthy doing things that much of our US populace doesn't care for. Tesla for example, ships .02% of all vehicles. But its market cap exceeds all the other automakers combined. That is definitely insane. The market cap of just seven stocks now equals 39% of US GDP. The balance sheet of the US Fed now equals 36% of US GDP. The rest of us only has 25% of the real economy. The stock market is like a toilet that's broken and won't flush, yet people keep defecating into it anyway. We're cresting the rim right about now. The stock market is too rigged to fail! It is rigged by GREED, and FOR GREED. A perfect vehicle to manipulate. Get stocks high and then cut them off at the knees and make a huge profit on the other side. Did you really think markets would ever be allowed to go red, every dip is bought and green every day? 1 or 2 small days red in a month, and that is all that is allowed. We are living in a fantasy world right now, but you have to keep doing what has worked for four months in a row, keep buying way out of the money calls and join the rich. These Robinhooders will never have to work again, so who cares about unemployment numbers. All they need is a Tesla, chipotle, iPhones, computers to trade, and video machine/games to survive for the next ten years. There is no economic recovery both in the US and internationally. Unemployment is extremely high. And there's a good possibility job losses will accelerate in the coming months as the PPP ends for big businesses (more than 500 employees) at the end of September. And many struggling small businesses go belly up. State and local governments are in dire economic straits, and if they don't get assistance fast, there will be a huge wave of layoffs and service cuts. There is also the potential for millions of renters and homeowners to be evicted in a crisis that looks like it could be worse than the housing bubble of 2008-2009. So why exactly are stocks climbing on a near-daily basis as if we already are well on our way to recovery? I get the feeling that the big players are pushing to see how much more they can squeeze out of this market before they switch to profit-taking. And when that happens, the market will collapse just like it did in Feb-March. They are taking foreign investors and retail players for a ride. They will be squashed when the big players get what they want out of the market. Unless of course, Powell decides to go Japanese and outright buy stocks to halt a full-blown crash.

Thank You. Every 90-years, there is a giant stock market crash followed by DEPRESSION. 90-years ago was 1929 followed by GREAT DEPRESSION, lasting 25-years to 1954. Will history repeat? I BELIEVE SO. Employees will lose jobs. Smart Entrepreneurs get rich. Start preparing now before the crash. The next stock market crash will take the US Dollar down with it. Retirement savings will disappear, along with the US dollars value. The US dollar is failing and has been for a few years. It will continue this slow death spiral for a few more years. The boyz at the fed are pretty good at kicking the can down the road. The Fed exists only to reward the donor class. The briefcase mafia never had it so good, so we'll keep the same low class of people in the office again this year. The Federal Reserve was created to make billionaires trillionaires. The bottom 20% of the population share less than one percent due to Fed policy. The debt slaves are always at the bottom of the pyramid, but they actually move the most bricks. Big companies, float trillions in debt, give the top management huge stock options, buy billions in stock buybacks, give billions in bonuses, outside the US, then force the Fed to buy the debt. And the Federal Reserve will buy it all. They are the buyers of last resort. If the Fed had allowed asset prices to find their natural bottom, wherever that may have been, and they were already on their way in March, and say, across the board.These American billionaires would have lost half of their wealth; then wealth inequality would have been cut in half. But what happened instead is this: the guy with a low-paying job, who lost the job, got the stimulus money and unemployment benefits, and then he handed this money over to the rich. This money didn’t stay with him. It flowed to the asset holders, to capital. That’s how the money flows. And it helped produce the corporate results that helped drive up asset prices. Bezos was the biggest beneficiary of them all. The top 12 wealthiest billionaires have seen their combined wealth soar by 40%—or $283 billion since the pandemic, it now comes to a total of more than 1 trillion dollars. In the meantime, 56 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits, and more Americans are losing their jobs with each passing day. More Americans are suffering from poverty and even hunger. This inequality is a huge handicap for the economy going forward. An economy based on ballooning inequality cannot perform well. Inequality will get in the way of recovery and has a negative impact on future economic growth. This is the save the village by burning it to the ground approach. By trying to prevent a recession/depression, it will cause more problems, either a very slow growth economy that allowed zombie companies et al to continue with capital misallocation and/or a more severe economic downturn ; since the weak were not allowed to perish in a capitalistic system. And tremendous social resentment. The FED is just a bookkeeper that operates closed books and an unlimited credit line for all its shareholders. The end game for the FED is to be the last bank standing and to own it all. They will own cities, states, nations, and all their citizens. They will take out the commercial banks and introduce a digital dollar. The dollar takedown has begun. Won't be long now. The second wave and crumble becomes collapse. The MMT debt scheme is near its mathematical ending. Digital technocratic controls are coming. Here is the mechanism the FED will use to release a mountain of money into the real economy. The Banking for All act is part of the coming stimulus package. It authorizes the FED to offer pass-thru accounts to everyone. In distressed or poor areas where member bank branches are limited, you can go to the POST OFFICE to get your FED account. They will deposit digital dollars into those accounts in the form of Universal Basic Income or stimulus. You will think the digital dollars are like your paper dollars, but they are not. Now they can breach the zero lower bound of interest rates, i.e., go negative. The FED will drop their bank lending rate to -4% or -5% while paying interest to the new FED accounts. The FED can allow you to convert your bank money (paper) to Central Bank Digital Currency or maybe a portion of it or none at all (to increase money velocity). Are you going to sit there as the bank takes 4% of your balance each month because of negative rates, or are you going to rush out and spend it if the FED won't let you convert? There's your inflation! The consumer, being ignorant, would only notice that their bank is charging to hold their money while the FED is not. People won't even notice the difference between their banks' version of money (paper) and the CBDC (programmable and digital). Not only would that incentivize everyone to spend their money before it dwindles away, creating price inflation and velocity, but it will serve the purpose of getting rid of paper money in favor of digital. What a smooth transition that would be. Eventually, the commercial banks will disappear once everyone is on the FED's ledger. That's the FED's endgame. To own it all! They may even allow you to take your CBDC out in the paper for a while just to convince you that there's no difference between FED money and paper. You might think you can avoid the negative rates by getting your cash out, except there's only 1.95 trillion in printed notes. If you're lucky enough to get your cash out, you will only watch it lose value as inflation skyrockets from the trillions being spent using electronic payment methods. Forget getting any gold or silver then! Your FED account would look just like your bank account. And equally, in the coming years, it should seem obvious to everyone in hindsight what a disastrous mess the Fed's/Central Banks' ongoing excessive QE policies created. Those who praise Powell for backstopping the market in March, completely miss the fact that he was already having to support the cracking structure by pivoting back to QE in 2019, and then through trillions of repo money in 2nd half of the year. When markets then reacted to COVID, the entire system was at such risk of collapse - due to its own monumental weight of excessive equity valuations and extreme debt loads - that the Fed's were forced to respond with emergency relief, by necessity, to keep the entire system from failing. This situation was entirely borne out of excessive QE for the past decade, and extreme market risk will continue (regardless of corrections) until we have a Fed with enough courage to reinstate the reasonable-rate policy. The market will always experience natural corrections, but if rates are constantly held reasonable, then the debt is kept more manageable by companies/consumers, and alternative investments help balance the equity valuations and risks in a diversified portfolio. But somehow, the Economists and PhD's running the show this past decade still can't figure this out, or simply think an economy built on debt through MMT is the optimal solution. Obviously, from the beginning of the story. It was a choice of real economic policy by the financial leaders who pass through the central banks that directly financed the virtual world, which has long since been disconnected from the real economy in crisis. It is normal that when real profits fall over the long term, they move to the financial virtual and then unload the problem out. They are systemic irrational processes. The push for predatory globalization arises from the long-term fall in profits, which is a systemic process in addition to the cyclical aspects. The problem has been moved further and magnified to levels never seen before. They also synchronized cycles globally and triggered and amplified the systemic crisis. The final stage of the operation will not be a walk in the park. Too big to fail is a myth. Very big things can fail. The biggest stocks ever, e.g., Apple, are still a tiny portion of the American economy. Any big bank can fail. Just put it into receivership and sell back that shares once the Bank has been rehabilitated. The original shareholders and managers are eligible to fail as they should. Let other, more competent people take it over. Again, nothing is too big to fail. It's a myth. A lie. And a tactic to screw the whole country just to save some lousy Banks or Airlines. Let them fail!!!! Nobody will lose their jobs except incompetent managers. In fact, the little people who run the company can end up owning a larger share of the institution once the managers, along with the parent company, are driven out, or preferred shares are first offered to employees after old management is fired and the debt restructured. Last but not least, screw the bondholders. They don't get to destroy the economy just so their lousy investments work out. Take it out of their hide next time there's a downturn.

A Tsunami Of Evictions Could Make 40 Million Americans Homeless
A Tsunami Of Evictions Could Make 40 Million Americans Homeless
The GDP dropped by 32% for the second quarter. Employers have cut 55 million jobs since March, and they have not re-opened all those jobs. One million people a week are still losing their jobs. And with so much business closed or crippled, a lot of people close to the financial edge are getting pushed over it. And massive new homelessness could be a result. In fact, up to 40 million people in the U.S. could find themselves at risk of eviction over the next several months. Roughly a third of all renters nationwide failed to make a full housing payment as of the first week of August. Very soon, it is going to be a moving day for 40 million Americans. They’ll be moving from their homes and apartments, from the places they’ve raised families and made memories — not by choice, but because the evictions are starting soon. And now that the expanded unemployment benefits have expired, many renters could lose their homes. Millions of cases ready to go as soon as the moratorium on evictions ends. These people are tapped out by the millions; I can’t even imagine the hundreds of millions of collections accounts that will soon be filed. This is not going to be pretty. Forty million homeless with nothing. Sounds like the start of a massive tent city on the mall in DC, just like in the 1930s. Folks, if you thought you had seen riots so far, just wait until all those people suddenly discover everything they've been told about The American Dream is a lie. As Carlin said, "It's a big club, and you ain't a member!" They are either going to continue this Modern Money Theory and keep printing, or they are going to watch civil unrest unequaled in the nation's history. Massive federal spending has transformed America into a welfare state. The money printing goes parabolic. Civil War Cycle Heating up. The Federal, state, county and city governments of the US and similar governments around the world all caught the borrowing bug 40 plus years ago, and now none of them, nor the largest corporations, can afford to pay interest on all that debt -- so rates will go one way or another be tricked down. It is much more fun for politicians to SPEND the tax dollars they get than to waste it on paying interest for past-politicians pet projects. This will continue for some time, and anyone with a good credit score should take advantage of it before it all blows up. The future has nothing left to pull from. Everything has already been stolen from your kids. Central bank Economics is a carefully crafted scam of arbitrage to skim off of everyone's work. back in 1980, there were only 132 billion US dollars in existence … while today, there are 3,304 billion dollars in existence … that’s 25 times more US dollars in existence today than back in 1980. The FED is not the government. It is not. The FED wants the interest on money the government borrowed paid. In fact, if interest rates are raised, and the government cannot service the debt, the FED will get the money from you. You and every other citizen are ultimately responsible for the government's debts. Suppose that means a gigantic bail-in where the assets of every American are seized to pay that debt. Oh well. You see, this is not the first time this has happened. The last time the government went bankrupt, they stole all the Citizens gold to pay off the FED. What do you think they will take this time? The impending shut-down of college sports and the brazen knock-down of gold and silver prices - plus this eviction crisis - tell me that things are going from serious to really serious very fast. Everything points to even more massive fiat money-printing, which makes the 15-percent, one-day plunge in silver and the huge one-day decline in gold particularly surreal. Obviously, the economic fallout from this thing will be unimaginably worse than anything else. Elections and giving money away both have consequences. The government, which is all of us, won't be able to kick this bill down the road forever. The unemployment benefit was 900 per week from Mar to Jul. That's more than the 400 that a minimum wage worker gets a week. So why are people struggling with eviction now when they have been receiving double their usual amount for the past few months? The real world looks like this: the government stops evictions, so people don’t pay their rent for six months. After six months, when the eviction starts, you jam out of your place and leave your landlord with the unpaid rent and no way to get it from you. Find another place from all the vacant properties that were just vacated from someone else who burned their landlord for their back rent, which they didn’t pay either. Easy, happens every day all across the US. Maybe Americans need to get it through their heads. You need at least six months of safety cash. The landlord and the mortgage companies have people they gotta pay too. Most landlords are mom-and-pop operations. They have their own mortgages to pay on the property. Being able to make the monthly payment out of earnings doesn't mean you can afford a home or your rental. Having the cash to back up the next six months of living expenses does. We need to stop this outsourcing of personal responsibility. There's a saying don't bite more than what you can chew. I think the same should go to spend don't buy more than what you can pay. Drop the cable, don't eat out, get a pay as you go phone, etc. The point is, shelter is one of the basic needs, and the rent needs to get paid. Even if it means giving up what really are luxuries. There are a lot of millennials who stopped paying rent just because their friends are doing it. A lot of landlords are leaving their properties vacant until this moratorium nonsense is over. The landlords are also at risk of repo and defaults of their mortgage. They have property taxes and water bills to pay. I know landlords who are not renting out otherwise available properties until this crud is over. Landlords should get paid or be allowed to evict people. If the government wants to make payments, then fine. But you cannot force landlords to house people with no payment. The only winners in this deal will be the hedge funds and vulture capitalists who buy up rental properties that have been defaulted on by their mom-and-pop owners who can't make the payments. We've seen this movie before. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Thank You. We can also read this as 40 million people are not paying their rents, but want to continue to have free housing. How is this fair on the landlords? They bought the rental properties with their savings. Why should they be forced to provide free housing to tenants that choose not to pay their rent? Nobody gifted them those houses, and they got no stimulus check because they earn too much. How can the government justify forcing these landlords to provide free housing? How fair is that? If politicians care so much about renters, help them pay the rent. Don't shift all the burden on the landlords, because not all of them are billion-dollar corporations. Some people just don't realize that it costs money to own a house, and tenants don't take care of rental properties any more than people take care of rental cars. When they stop paying rent, the landlord is faced with a huge dilemma. Is it possible that people will learn a financial lesson from the rage of this pandemic, which is to "save for a rainy day"? It sounds antiquated but still makes lots of sense. Doubt many will pay heed to it, unfortunately. I suspect the biggest problem is the middle-class, who spent above their income level before the pandemic. Drive through some neighborhoods and see all of the new homes, SUVs, pickups, boats, etc. Probably most of them with loans with expensive full-covered insurance required. They maximized their purchasing power by financing everything, and now they can't make payments even with the [very generous] $600. Also, these forecasts are forward-looking into the next few months, so even people who did well with the $600 bonuses can no way pay a $3000 mortgage or even basic living expenses on their state's measly $300 regular unemployment. Who's fault is that? Millions of lazy, self-indulgent, and/or irresponsible Americans are their own worst enemies, failing to save for a rainy day while having babies, vacations, lattes at the Starbucks, and unlimited data latest iPhones. But the governments would like us to view them all as feckless victims of an evil oligarchy. I'm betting that most of those threatened with "housing insecurity" had every opportunity to live a fiscally responsible life but CHOSE to do otherwise and now expect responsible taxpayers to bail them out. The government is by the people. We all talk about fiscal responsibility when talking, but we don't want to sacrifice anything ourselves. We want lower taxes, we want to wage wars, we want to forgive student loans - and after all that, we complain about the government is broke. We should consider if the voting public is the problem. Those living below the poverty line have the highest rates of smoking, obesity, school dropouts, criminality, deadbeat dads, teen pregnancies, single-parent families, lottery ticket purchases, drug/alcohol abuse and (most expensive of all) BIRTH RATES among women of childbearing age. It seems like changing some of those habits could free up quite a bit of saving! If your state has a base rate of $300 and you get the $600 COVID bonus on top of that, it comes to $900/week or $22 an hour. That is three times the minimum wage. Ironically, those people getting unemployment checks will get more extra money every month than the ones still working would get back in the payroll tax deferral by the end of the year.
