I was checking my bank account because I had family members who said they were going to send me money, and I saw that the IRS sent me over a thousand dollars and I had no idea why. Apparently, my mom told me that the IRS said on the news that they were finally going through the backlog of misfiled stimulus checks from COVID and sending them out, so I guess thank you IRS. Just curious if anyone else randomly got money from the IRS, because I saw that it showed up in my bank as a tax refund and got really confused because I already got my federal refund this year.

Thankfully the government is there in a timely manner to flips pages help you through the government-forced buisness shutdowns of 2020 and 2021. Over a cold. Of which they lied about the origin to cover their ass.
For additional lulz, that $1000 supposed to arrive back then is only worth $820 of its 2020 value.
And that’s if you believe the official numbers.
Wait... isn't that like 18% inflation over 4 years?
That's 4.5% per year! Fuck. Most people live paycheck to paycheck. What do you even do when your purchasing power lessens by almost 20%? How are people surviving?
That's the ''official'' inflation numbers used. Reality is much higher.
Here gas prices doubled and grocerie prices increased by 50%-75%.
Isn't everyone becoming poor extremely quickly, then? Why aren't there riots?
The bread and circus are still going, so no.
Are you in California?
In Quebec. Electricity costs being low is our saving grace.
