UNLESS YOU'RE IN THE MILITARY OR A VET DON'T EXPECT AN EARLY CHRISTMAS BONUS ONLY THOSE IN THE MILITARY GET $1,776 THAT IS IN THE MAIL APPARENTLY RIGHT NOW BUT THE REST OF YOU JUST WORK HARD , KEEP PAYING YOUR BILLS AND KEEP PAYING YOUR TAXES UNLESS YOU LIVE OFF OF TIPS, ARE RETIRED OR WORK OVERTIME.

REMINDS ME OF A COMPANY I WORK FOR A LONG TIME AGO THAT SAID THEY HAVE AN INCENTIVE PROGRAM THAT IF YOU PRODUCE TWICE AS MUCH PARTS PER HOUR YOU WILL GET PAID HALF AS MUCH MORE PER HOUR SO YOU HAD TO WORK LIKE A MANIAC EVERYDAY TO GET PAID HALF AS MUCH MORE SO I ASKED THEM WHY DON'T WE GET PAID AT LEAST FULL PRICE FOR DOING TWICE AS MUCH? THEY DIDN'T LIKE MY QUESTION WHEN THEY HAD THEIR BIG ANNOUNCEMENT IN FRONT OF ALL THE EMPLOYEES AND SEVERAL OF THEM PACKED UP THEIR STUFF AND LEFT INCLUDING ME LOL

Yup, that one hit me too, what happened to the talk of $2000 dividend for EVERY American. Social Security sent their so called cost of living raise for 2026, pitiful as usual. And dont even get me started on Gas prices, it is still $4.50 ish where I am. And why say easing up for seniors assuming they are all on prescription drugs !
