What a lovely bunch of comments! We have:

virtue signalers telling us they will hand out benjamins at Publix
cranky old men demanding proof that virus must have affected you financially to get check
people who say they don't need it, will donate
people who say they need it, will spend it

If you followed this legislation closely, you would know a few facts

Original bill drafted by republicans in senate had means testing at the top and the bottom, no check if you made over 100k, smaller check ($600) if you collected SS but did not have at least $2500 in additional earnings.
After negotiations with Schumer and Pelosi, who screamed unfair to include the bottom means testing and wanted a whole truckload of other crap added to the bill. In the end they compromised and we have the bill as signed into law.

Spend it, donate it however you want. Hopefully it helps revive the economy.
