Fortunately I have TP, otherwise I might have barter with my stockpile of incandescent light bulbs.
They are talking issuing checks in a couple of weeks -- no way to target that quickly.

Joke if you want, but this is serious business. I'm guessing that this money will go to all registered tax payers. Trying to set up a system to determine who does or doesn't need it would take too long. So they're just gonna hit everybody to speed things along.
A whole lot of folks are out of work. Many were just barely getting by as it was and don't have much in the bank to fall back on. People who are broke and hungry have a tendency to get plumb rowdy. I think this is a emergency band-aid to temporarily delay any civil unrest problems.

Then he will have to double down on scotch!

it had better be more than just registered taxpayers. my only income is social security and VA disability and I haven't filed an income tax form in 8 years. there are a LOT of retired people in that category

If everyone cashes their $1000 check and requests cash it might get very interesting real quick. $$$$$

Why back when President Ford sent out a stimulus type check.
No one complains when they are given money!
I'll forever thank Ford for my $100 that keep me from starving that hard cold winter.

I'd be tempted to do a little alchemy and turn my thousand fiat currency units into about 3/4 oz of gold coins.
I really don't need it either.
I heard someone on the radio yesterday saying that there are a few asking Trump not to send everyone $1000 but rather step up unemployment so it can get money to the people who can't work due to the virus immediately rather than the usual 4-6+ weeks.
I'd rather see the people directly affected get help rather than just passing out money to everyone.
However, if I do see the $1000 I have decided to invest it wisely.
I'll invest in increasing my ammo stockpile.

I could be wrong, but I think that the reason why it will go out on a universal basis is due to the following:
1) Putting more money into the economy is the goal. Even those who don't "need" it, will end up spending it, or at least a good percentage. I, for one, will sock it into savings should I receive a check.
2) Determining who "needs" it requires a mechanism for assessing that need, and will slow down the process.
Hold on, and you knew this was coming. A headline from this morning. (Bold emphasis mine).

Trump Admin Considering Sending $2,000 to Certain Americans During Wuhan Coronavirus Pandemic.
The economic stimulus package to fight damage from the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic under consideration by the White House includes a proposal to send two $1,000 checks to certain Americans, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
Checks would be sent to Americans below a certain income level, although it is not yet clear what that level will be.

Someone, of little significance recently 
, is proposing giving every household $2,000 a month.
In a few days, he and his grandiose ideas will be history.

From what I am hearing, it may be split up into two checks a month apart, amount undetermined. And there will be income and family size limits on those who get the check(s). Prediction - if it happens, it will be money thrown away with no tangible results for the economy.
