Most of it makes sense of a kind, but admittedly I can't understand "ropo"

This bit...

The bill is just one proposal that has been floated to help cover Americans’ expenses and get them back on their feet amid a widespread economic shutdown.

I feel safe knowing that I have 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars stashed away for a rainy day.

Nearly enough for a lollipop.

Enough people in US may get it and vote for Reps to prevent bonkers proposals like this to become real law

So, they could run this scheme for near on 3 months for the same cost of the previous 2 trillion they've spunked on corporate (that was used for buy-backs, not keeping people employed) support already.

Sounds like a better deal!

With morons like that Trump might win again

People sitting at home watching Netflix receiving a cheque for $10k per month. Yeah, I'm sure they'll go out and spend it. Not. Venezuela on steroids.

How did the US become land of the free to a socialist utopia overnight? Corbyn has probably filled out his emigration papers already.

Coronavirus: Senate proposes up to $10K monthly for families

One generous proposal on Capitol Hill could put as much as $10,000 per month into American families’ hands to help them weather the coronavirus pandemic.

In some ways, it’s a nod to universal basic income, the concept of indefinitely providing people with a guaranteed amount of money per month. But the plan calls for providing the financial relief for only as long as the pandemic lasts.

The bill, named the Monthly Economic Crisis Support Act, was introduced in May by Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.; Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; and Ed Markey, D-Mass.

It calls for sending $2,000 per month to individuals and $4,000 to couples, as well as $2,000 per child for up to three children. Those earning under $120,000 would be eligible for support, though the payments would be reduced for income over $100,000.

No wonder the stock market in the US is off like a rocket with that much free cash sloshing around as a proposal!
