I received my $600 "stimulus payment"... [View all]

...unlike last time, where I got a US Treasury check, I got a VISA "Economic Impact Payment Card," which is, of course, rigged to siphon off $$$ to Corporate Fucks.

To use it, I had to go through an email confirmation activation

After I did that, I went to a local ATM to get the cash, but instead, got charged 25 cents for using the corporate atm, by unwittingly being prompted into "verifying" the dollar amount of the card.

And I got no cash, because they don't give out that much cash.

Now my stimulus is worth $599.75.

Multiply that .25 cents x hundreds of millions...grift to the corporations.

Anyone else notice this?

I would prefer the US Treasury Check.
