Nope, they were promising $2000 checks to go out immediately, AFTER the initial $600 had gone out. They misled people, and Democrats are entirely in a position to deliver what they were promised. But as usual, they won’t, and will continue to alienate voters so in four years we get all the fun of a devastating Trump

Yo how much money is on a $2000 check tho?

A (singular)
$2000 (specific amount written upon the check denoting American Currency)
Check (singular, i.e. not part of a series)

English.

Biden was giving a speech and other politicians were advertising “a $2000 check” well after the 600 dollars had already gone out in order to get more people to vote in Georgia. So while math says that 600 + 1400 = 2000, the actual words of politicians who promise things says otherwise.

When I hear the words “A $2000

A speech in Georgia, January 4th, after the 600 dollar relief checks had already been voted on.

“By electing... you can make an immediate difference in your own lives. The lives of the people all across this country. Because their election, will put an end to that block in Washington for that 2,000 dollar stimulus

We might disagree, but I’m not arguing in bad faith.

How much money is on a $2000 check?

Lot of people chomping the hook on the $600+$1400 = $2000, but I know what you meant. It wasn’t “2000" total in checks, it was “we’re sending you $2000 checks.” Super frustrating that this got retconned, makes me feel kinda nuts when there were ads of $2000 checks. Like, check this tweet from Ossof in December:

My point was less about who’s to blame for the current relief progress, and more about using something to win votes that, as you’ve explained, isn’t within his power to fullfill. (I know politicians do this all the time but this one felt worse to me, just because of the rhetoric used in his campaign. Listen to some of

As I said to other replies, they were still claiming 2,000 dollar checks would come if they were elected after the 600 dollar checks went out.

They were claiming and “advertising” 2,000 dollar checks after the 600 had already been sent out. I hear a lot of people claiming this but the timeline doesn’t line up.

I couldn’t stand Trump and I’m not expecting hard hitting political journalist from Kotaku, so nothing against this article or anything. (I know it’s just in good fun) But this is such a great example of what the next 4 years in the media is going to look like for Biden.

Damnit, now I have a favorite Cozy Coupe model.

I suppose if you live in a predominantly dry climate that generally stays above freezing all winter, purchasing high quality tires and paying attention to your tread depth probably dont rank very high on the priority list.  Plus they tailgate at 85mph on a daily basis.  Oof.

History: Chrysler’s Pentastar logo stood for the five divisions of Chrysler Corporation. Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, Imperial.

the Avis v6 300 is not an upgrade. that is the car of last resort.

Grab all the French crossovers, smooth out the exteriors, plush up the interiors, and let it ride. Keep the Pacifica and whatever Stellantis replaces the 300 with (if they do). If that doesn’t work, stick a fork in them. The PSA brand should be sold in America somehow, and utilizing an existing brand and dealer

Here’s the plan. Announce that you have hired me, a complete industry outsider to revamp the entire image of Chrysler. Make it international news how innovative and out-side the box I am. Then tomorrow when the fact that 90% of my posts on Jalopnik have been either fart jokes or Beavis and Butthead GIFs. Make

Chrysler has always seemed to be a pretend luxury brand ever since they stopped making awesome luxury boats like the Imperial. Their value proposition is in a half-baked attempt to trick others into thinking you drive a luxury car even though no one will actually believe that. The 300 is for people who want everyone
