The IRS Sent $1.4 Billion in Stimulus Checks to Dead People.

It seems this was intentional. As long as you filed your 2019 tax return you got your check, regardless of the fact you were dead. They even marked checks DECD*

This year, the federal government sent more than 1 million coronavirus relief checks to dead people. The miserly busybodies at the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a complaint about this inadvertent “cash for cadavers” program Thursday, and now a bunch of news outlets are stoking outrage over Uncle Sam’s giant handout to Big Dead.

Here’s what happened: Back in March, the economy was collapsing, tens of millions of Amerians were in the process of losing their jobs, and Congress passed a giant relief bill to keep households solvent during the hard times to come.

The rapid onset of the economic crisis posed a logistical challenge to the IRS. Americans needed cash relief yesterday, but the agency did not have the payment infrastructure in place to immediately deposit $1,200 into every eligible resident’s bank account. Meanwhile, ensuring that no ineligible Americans were mistakenly sent relief would require a time-consuming review process.

So the agency opted to err on the side of not letting poor Americans go hungry. In practice, this involved, among other things, sending payments to nearly 1.1 million Americans who had perished between filing a 2018 or 2019 tax return and April 2020.

Such payments were dispersed for two main reasons. First, IRS lawyers initially interpreted the legislation as mandating the delivery of relief payments to Americans who’d paid their 2019 taxes, irrespective of their burial status

Actually, one of my locals isn't either. They have had nobody from officialdom visit them or advise them. They are just going to open and see what happens. Chaos probably, but with others staying on the green opposite, in their fold-up garden chairs, drinking at £1.2 a pint.

Yep, use an app to order a beer all you neozombie/ants/robots and don't squeak a peep.
You asked for it. You were the new adopters. You threw out your humaness oh so quickly, oh so easily.

Ffs, didn't you see it would come to this?
My alianation from the modern world is now complete.

Won’t be using an app Stern. Don’t you worry about that. Nice little backwater pub in the sticks. Landlord and lady know all the regulars by name, and what we drink, so all will be good here in the boondocks!!

Yep Yerg...
In the dark days already descending it is the duty of all us remaining good men (and shealas) to hold alive a few candles of our imperlled human civilisation in lonely outposts like rowdy lttle british backwater pubs and quietly crazy remote cambodian coastlines where The App still don't rule and never will.
fuck The Machine.

( i don't think it is going to last too much longer anyway,
despite everybody's plans... chuckle)
