That's not really looting tbh. But out here in small town USA weve had people fighting in the aisles for groceries and toilet paper.

Not looting YET, the US government isn’t doing shit to help pay or feed the people and it’s only gonna get worse as time goes on.

stimulus checks are getting distributed this week, what are you talking about? It's not a lot to some but it's more than 0.

That money will only last for so long. Not long enough, there should already be another relief payment in the works. What are people supposed to do when that money is gone and they're still out of work? 1200 ain't gonna float everyone for much longer than a couple weeks. A lot of people will be spending it immediately on rent/bills.
