Ceka Cianci Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Well, The stimulus package passed the Senate today.. Now it will go back to the House so they can vote on it again, since the Senate made changes to the first draft.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) In the U.S., If you haven't done your taxes yet and were or are on unemployement, just hold off to see what happens with the stimulus bill in the house. If this stimulus bill passes the house, which it should and you've already done your taxes and were on unemployment in 2020.. You'll want to do an amended return using a 1040-x form when the irs starts taking in amended returns.. The first $10,000.00 of unemployment will be tax exempt.. Not just in 2021 but in 2020.. So if you got a return, that will bump it up, or if you had to pay, you may end up getting money back now.. If The stimulus bill passes the house, that is.. I was doing taxes last weekend for a few people, so I'm going to end up doing 4 amended returns when the time comes, if it passes.. Although one was right at the 10k mark so I might not have to do that one.. I wish I would have waited now.. hehehe Edited March 7, 2021 by Ceka Cianci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunawayBunny Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Our government already gave up.. Subject removed from headlines but understandable. They don't have economic power to lock people at home. When people hungry and have to work for daily expenses you cannot lock them, nowadays they say something like "take care of your self" but they will not get into details Edited March 7, 2021 by RunawayBunny Typos Grammar etc.. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggy UwU Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Rant: lately i feel like people get so heated with topics within anything COVID-related and it's just hard to speak to anyone about it, worried that you're gonna get slashed at any statement you make. why can't we just be civil these days? Share: i am glad states are re-opening. we need to get back to normal at SOME degree. i don't like how rapidly we are doing it here in the USA, but we gotta figure out a better plan so we don't have repeats of 2020. PSA: i hope everyone is staying safe. ❤️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! I think everyone's so sick of it now, tempers are rising... but there's no need for people to insult each other. It's strange to think the UK had its last normal week exactly a year ago. 28 minutes ago, Ignis Dismantled said: PSA: i hope everyone is staying safe. ❤️ You too! ❤️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Psaltery Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I just got my first vaccine and I've nothing to rant about. The weather was warm enough for me to risk standing outside for a while in case of a late taxi but it all went very well, and the Covid staff were the nicest people. I wanted to find a tip jar. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Psaltery Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 @Rat LuvI don't think this goes against the topic rules but if it does, let me know and I'll clean it out. I was feeling content at not suffering any side-effects from the jab except a bit of extra weariness, but my mood just dipped a little on seeing a video on a channel I knew nothing about. A friend pointed me to it, and it's jaw-dropping. At least mine was from AstraZeneca not Pfizer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not at all, it's just when people start kicking lumps out of each other the Lindens get their padlocks out That is very disturbing and I'm sure it goes on a lot with big pharma companies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I got a letter from my State Unemployment office notifying me that someone had applied for unemployment in my name and if it wasn't me to go do the Fraud report on it. I was quite surprised, because it definitely was not me. I did some research and found that fraudulent unemployment claims have skyrocketed in the last year. Not totally surprised, after thinking about it. Not only did I have to file the fraud notice for the unemployment claim, but it was recommended that I put a fraud alert on my credit file and lock it from inquiries for a year, to prevent anyone from doing anything new in my name - just in case. TOTAL PITA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, your credit score continues to be updated normally, but people (including you) can't open accounts or take out loans when your credit file is frozen. It's a small hassle to thaw and refreeze when you want to buy a car, or open a bank account, but that doesn't happen often... for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious, so I pulled the privacy report from Safari after following the links in iceing's post. The first four websites in that list are in iceing's list of links. They're apparently responsible for more tracking activity than all the other places I've visited in the last 30 days. I think iceing is worrying about the wrong nefarious actors. ;-). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but they charge money for doing what we can do ourselves for free -- and they aren't always so good at it anyways.

There is virtually nothing in that pile of recycled refuse that hasn't been debunked dozens of times over by credible sources. But that really doesn't matter, does it, if you're working on Goebbel's principle: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." I can engage civilly with people who believe garbage, but who are willing to discuss it and defend it. But it actually angers me to see this forum used to simply unload deliberate, calculated disinformation in the way that this poster does, continually. They don't engage, they don't discuss, they don't justify or defend. They seed the place with crap, and then disappear until they've collected enough excrement for a return visit. And I've simply had enough of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a biomedical lab in England, but they had patented a strain of the avian flu that affected livestock. So yeah, I don't get how these people believe this rubbish. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did unblock their post today only to AR them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
