I just got a stimulous check for.....$600.00?!?

via my Soc sec. direct deposit.

Weren't they supposed to be $1200.00 for a single person?
No dependents, we don't owe any income tax.


To add:
We both got the 1200.00 last spring and the 600.00 in Jan. this year.

This looks like a fubar....am wondering how big of a problem it will be.

Problem solved, thanks to a couple eagle eyed DU folks.
This is the notice I didn't get after the Jan. 600.00. the letter is dated ..Feb. 24..
GGGDDMM De Joy.

I've just had cataract surgery and it's difficult to read somethings....

TY all for your help.

A warning about Netflix's Lupin.

It's very very good, Addictive.

IMDB sez 7 episodes, but only had summaries for 5.

I completely missed the meaning of that.

The end of ep. 5 is an improbable cliff hanger. And the end of the season.
No word when the rest of it will return.

AAARRGGHHH

In case you were curious, here's the lot Jarvankas want to buy

Something like 1.8 acre, for 31.8 million asking, private Island with few residents, 24 hour police, guarded and gated.
can you imagine what their house would look like?
It's an open secret she wants to run for some sort of public office in Fla. and is establishing residency, altho the New York house will be theirs also.

Really good pics of the area. I esp. like noting how close to zero sea level it all is even now.
In a few years, everyone there will get a lesson on how and why those little islands were formed.

PSA ..... careful of sending the Guardian any money

Was feeling charitable and sent them a ONE time payment of 20.00. checked the one time payment box.
This was early Nov.
Just now got a notice from my paypal account they charged 135.00 to it.
Was able to stop the payment.
That was too easy to rip me off tho, I just happened to be checking my account.

Netflix Giri/Haji is a 10 on IMDB, rightly so

Any one who is a fan of Guy Ritchie type films will appreciate how this movie is structured.

Attention to detail is important, as the movie goes back and forth in time, revealing the meaning of what was done or said in previous scenes.

I got hooked on it.

If this wasn't a bribe for a pardon, I don't what would be:

Trump pardoned a guy named Paul Pogue, in Feb. this year.




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_granted_executive_clemency_by_Donald_Trump#Pardons

Trump's MO with money is to have it go thru a couple of legit orgs, then end up where he can put his paws on it. That's how he paid Ivanka for consulting services at the same time she was being paid by taxpayers for being his "Assistant" in the WH. The money went to her consulting firm.
All the Russian money, same type of deal, same as his various henchmen....Flynn, Briody, etc.
I hope his list of pardons is gonna be looked at..

Apparently Parler got hacked

and apparently there are details being released about some well known political folks who posted on it.

Was Parler a honey pot? I sure like the idea. It seems the sign up process called for SS#, driver license copies, etc.
