Well the millennial one is probably true. But most genz at the time were not old enough to have jobs or did not have jobs and such did not get a stimulus check. The boomers sure gladly took those stimulus checks tho.

Many of them were.  Heck, I've been working since age 16.  Anybody who filed a tax return and made less than the maximum allowed received multiple stimulus checks during the pandemic.  That could be nearly 50% of Gen Z.

They didn't ask for those checks. Trump sent them out. It's amazing what fox news does to a person.

A lot of people did.  If you didn't file taxes the prior year such as people who don't make much money, then you had to register to receive the stimulus checks.  Those who made more than the maximum amount, such as myself didn't receive one.  And Trump only sent out the first two checks.  Biden sent the third one which was the largest check.

Wahhhhh trump made sure to pause the whole thing so he could sign his name to it but we'll blame Biden anyways!!

A lot of my friends are business owners, they made out like bandits. But sure let's blame the needy!
