AI Thread Summary
Walmart is cashing economic stimulus checks without the usual fee, specifically targeting individuals without bank accounts. Customers can load their checks onto a Walmart MoneyCard, which waives the card issuance fee for first-time users. The MoneyCard, a reloadable prepaid Visa, can be used anywhere Visa is accepted, but the offer is limited to checks up to $2,999 until July 31. Some discussions highlight concerns about the implications of funneling stimulus money into a single retailer and the potential financial management issues for those without bank accounts. Overall, this initiative aims to attract customers while providing a fee-free option for cashing checks.

I actually pay more money for items quite often because it is made in America.
Funny, many "made in America" items are made in US Prisons. I know this because a lot of the companies that use prisoners for labor are my clients. You'd be surprised who they are. I think it's great, prisoners should work.

I agree 200%. Other than the crazies that should be kept in solitary confinement, the rest (98-99%?) should be spending their time making or producing something. Since quite a high percentage will be spending the rest of their life in prison, why not get something out of them rather than just letting them sit around working out, watching TV, ect, and using taxpayers money? Money-wise, potentially making the prison system self sufficient. Or at least try to close the gap in costs a little.

By the way, just today I received a letter from the IRS stating that I should be receiving my 'stimulus check' by July 11th. It then goes on to state that it could take up to six weeks after that date to get to me!

I so wish I had my checking account info with me when I was doing my taxes.:frown:

Will it really stimulate the economy or will just stimulate the economy in China since just about everything is made there.

I say China. Since I'm probably going to be spending part of it it on computer parts, that immediately means it's at least going to somewhere in Asia.
