I absolutely agree. Nothing about the last year has made this country and it's people more financially secure.

Stimulus payments started before the last year... Just so you know.

Now I have a question, my old JD 790 has no computer chip in its anolog body, how about the L3130, as I see the digital dial so I assume it does. And I see the massive new tractors have computers to basically run them on autopilot, so wouldnt the computer chip shortage affect them and cause a corresponding huge price rise.

Yes, the chip shortage is affecting so much more than just cars and trucks.

I was simply yielding to the "knowing".

I think the first stimulus checks were around April 2020.

Not according to the knowing.

Think 2008 was the first one? Not sure, may have been earlier.
