While I've been disappearing into some novels and computer games, more crazy events are unfolding in the world. Apparently as the protests became less violent, with less rioting and destruction, the police have been caught in more and more instances of using unnecessary force. The people in the streets and the news companies are capturing footage of police pushing and attacking people in ways that show they are being extra mean without just cause.
Meanwhile, the financial assistance people need still isn't here. I watch a lot of YouTube videos, in addition to the TV news, to help keep me up to date on financial info. It sounds like the US Senate just keeps pushing things back, continuing their "wait and see" games.
The YouTube channel "Meet Kevin" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrlFsxJSI1c) posts multiple updates each day with info about the possible upcoming 2nd stimulus or alternates, as well as info about real estate and investing. He often summarizes government reports and interviews from people in the financial sector. Today he was talking about the odds of getting a 2nd stimulus check (which are low, since the Republicans are focused on a payroll tax instead) and the misleading unemployment numbers.
I am definitely an advocate for more stimulus money to people. Let's try to eliminate poverty!
Be safe out there!
