$1 Trillion COVID-19 Relief Bill; $600 Stimulus Payments - Oni - 12-21-2020
For those in the US... Congress is finalizing another COVID-19 relief bill, with $600 stimulus payments expected in the very near future. Hopefully the money goes to those who need it most.
Quote:Top Capitol Hill negotiators sealed a deal Sunday on an almost $1 trillion COVID-19 economic relief package, finally delivering long-overdue help to businesses and individuals and providing money to deliver vaccines to a nation eager for them.
The agreement, announced by Senate leaders, would establish a temporary $300 per week supplemental jobless benefits and $600 direct stimulus payments to most Americans, along with a new round of subsidies for hard-hit businesses and money for schools, health care providers and renters facing eviction.

From my understanding, the unemployment-specific relief is given to the states. Eligibility for unemployment and other COVID-specific measures will vary from state to state, though.

Many administration jobs are also In a similar position.

I've somehow got confused. What does Ciceniss mean by "they don't give a damn"? I'm aware IT companies (especially those who are the outsource choice for comprehensive IT solutions) have been needed more than ever. What have they become complacent in?
