$2000 will pay for my rent in Florence. Fantastic.
I think it just got credited to my account automatically. Not a physical check.

How many times has the US gov't given you guys money during the panemic?
Twice. 1200 at the beginning and 600 around new years
I've never received any, too high of an income threshold. Which is fair enough.
I don't need it and didn't want it. It's better to send it those more deserving like english layabouts swanning around Italy like it's some feckin grand tour.
That's very clearly insufficient. Should be a monthly payment if you can demonstrate need.
We've been giving people who need it a $2000 payment every month (those are Canadian dollars so don't go thinking it's a lot of money). I think it stopped after September but may have started again. I don't know because I've been fortunate to be able to work this whole time.I've never received any, too high of an income threshold. Which is fair enough.

I don't know about that. I didn't get my $600 until about a week ago, long after the GA senate election.
Then make that argument and don't get bogged down in the "but I thought Biden meant 2000 on top of the 600" which doesn't advance the larger point and simply sends the discussion into the weeds.
Fancy moaning non-stop about a free $2k.
In Scandinavia I think you get that much for being unemployed in normal times. $2k might be alright in some of the cheaper states but if you live in a bigger city I imagine that 2k won't go far and you'll be back to square one again because the economy has been tanked my the pandemic.
What are people who work in the hospitality sector and have no savings supposed to do. That 2k would not even give them food on the table throughout the pandemic.
The 1400 and 2k debate is taking us away from the fact that neither are enough.
!!!
This... But yet the discussions for the last 2 weeks have been about semantics
I've pretty much always been of the view the US is the only country that can legitimately do the money printer go brrrr meme.
I got mine 12/31. The law was passed before that
free
I haven't yet got $600 me or the wife 
though I am due $6000 back in taxes so bingo
though I am due $6000 back in taxes so bingoHaha so true
That's great for you but don't speak like all the checks were out before then. Many people I know also didn't have checks until around the week of the inauguration. So it's not cut-and-dry for declaring that the statements were made "after" checks went out because, clearly, a huge chunk of checks were not out then.
If you want to say $2000 isn't enough then make that argument but posting images of Warnock with no comments does absolutely nothing for anyone except make it look like you care more about trolling Biden than helping people.

The law was already passed as Biden and Warnock and Ossoff already knew.

Looks Like the Kamala Harris/Jim Justice pincer movement worked a treat.
Although he said he still opposes increasing the min. wage to $15. Wonder if that has been taken out a compromise?
Good move from Kamala. Need them to try and twist arms for the filibuster now.

Good move, wouldn’t want those with a mere £49m to have to suffer.
I don’t disagree, but you gotta start somewhere.
You have to laugh at the nerve of the R’s crying about a lack of bipartisanship from the Dems.
Until you remember how dumb the Dems are and how likely they are to go down that rode. Again.

It's going to Italians though and they need it badly. My rent is 800 euros a month so I'm struggling to make ends meet.
He has started better than I expected, (apparently the climate executive order is good, the yemen announcement today is good), but it would be such a stupid, purely self-inflicted own-goal to further means-test the $1400, now only for people who earned under 50k last year. imo then it counts as a clearly broken promise, if not everyone who got the 600 is getting the 1400 now.
