This is a longer quote from his Fox News (already raising red flags) interview:
He makes his living "mentoring" people on how they can "better themselves" financially. In his view, stimulus cheques are the equivalent of "pissing on a forest fire".
Personally, as someone making just a tad over minimum wage, $600 to 1400 dollars would do a hell of a lot for me. I can pay rent and eat well on what I already make, the cheque would give me extra security. Security is important. Security frees you up to do things you might not have had the means for. Even if that's just freeing time up for yourself to enjoy life and destress.
He seems to be confusing "life changing" and "livable". There's nothing wrong with livability. Livability is urgent, hence an immediate cheque. Life altering decisions, many of which have already come and gone and have set you in your current predicament? Changes aren't happening overnight.
Besides, how do u even define life changing? By what standard? Is that owning a sports car? A mansion? Being able to take yearly trips to Jamaica? Or is it is the more down to earth, important issues like health, housing, wages, education and careers?
My problem with a financial advisors take on these issues is that they tend to take the position of "Here's how you make lot's of money, here's how you work (or con) the system", not "Here's how we change the economy, society and politics to better ourselves". It's individualistic to its core. It's not attacking the roots.

The venom is for him not you but you quoted him and didn’t even acknowledge the rest of my list I said but that’s cool.
@cracker. And yes 18 is a livable wage out here and many places in the south. Southern posters already confirm that for you and just like a cracker you don’t want listen to what black folks say. Disgust

He’s white. You know how that go
I see what he saying...if you were living above your means with had bad spending habits and hella debt before the pandemmy, a stimmy aint gon fix your problem.
With that being said, a stimmy is designed to be a quick fix. Covid shutting the world down is out of anyone's control. Even ppl that was doing well are suffering rn so his point is moot.
