I answered the mute issue elsewhere. For "pre-censorship", I am not sure why the "pre" part, but for censorship, no. I have not really even decided what to think about the issue.
We *might* conclude that a big portion of the memo community dislikes this, and even then we might still not do anything forceful about it. We can live with it, or he might change.
Still based on 2019 tax filings. I believe. If they do that $1400 payment to compliment the $600 one, many of us will be traversing excrement creek without a rudder.
I take it you are not a fan of the $1400 stimulus, why?
Do they need to have lost work due to Covid to qualify? I know that was the requirement up here in Canada. It was $2000 a month if you lost work, and EI became easier to apply for.
No. It is just based on 2019 earnings. But 90%+ of people qualify based on 2019 earnings. It does not take into account savings or 2020 earnings.
Not sure how the USA is doing it. I would assume it is not to everyone, just those affected, and or bellow a certain income. I am for it as it is akin to emergency war time spending.
It is for 90% of people, the lowest threshold when it starts to decline, single, is $75k income in 2019. So basically everyone gets it.
So if $330 GME caused a 50% Hedgie loss, it might be prudent to consider at which price this lesson would backfire and just hurt normal people who have no money to gamble in stocks.
The price only caused a loss in some particular hedge fund, there are also hedge funds that are long GME.
