Those cringe motherfuckers couldn't be bothered with a check I could read and cash, oh no. They're sending out debit cards. Looks like we're all on welfare now folks. Waitin' for de gubment to charge up my spending card so I can go to Walmart.
And their favorite folks the bankers, get a transaction cut on everything.
Is there any plausible, non-cynical take on this? Maybe the debit cards are more traceable for the next round of billions of dollars in fraud? Is this mental exercise even worth considering?
I'm worn out with the fraud at this point.
I will make some guesses:
The plastic card is of course trackable when used; lots of juicy data there.
It's refillable for the next [serf] welfare payment
It could become a kind of financial ID, kind of like a social security number.
And of course the bankers always get their transaction fees.
Tsk, tsk. All that cynicism... We'll be deducting that from your next stimulus; you can only blame yourself.
