Think another stimulus check could happen?

I am very doubtful, but I know people are trying to get a monthly stimmy, as there is currently a change.org petition that has recahed nearly 3 millions signatures. I doubt it would matter if it reaches that amount, because the government won't bother to listen to us.

Here's an article discussing about that.


And the change.org petition if you want to sign it:


It won't happen, but honestly it would be a big help right now. But then again, I assume if we get a monthly stimmy, it's going to result in more inflation across the US. If it's bad enough, wouldn't adding more stimmys cause more inflation?

With all of this talk on how the former stimulus checks may have caused inflation (something I mildly predicted) I doubt it. The only way I see it happening is if another lockdown happens. We forget how much McConnell fought back against the idea of a stimulus check.

They printed mass amounts of money. They gave some of it out as stimulus checks, pocketed a lot of it and then sent the rest of the bulk overseas. Bezos' net worth doubled in 2020 alone. Wtf difference will it make to the average middle or lower-class family in America to get another $1500 thrown at them? I was so insulted when this ish went down and still am. They legit robbed us and we accepted the crumbs like a bunch of stupid ass puppies.
