What would happen if instead of bailing out the banks and housing markets, we have that money to every person in the US 15 and older 1900$ ~5b total.

So I have been wondering a fair bit about when the United States bailed out its banks and could spend 500 billion in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.

My thought/question is What would have happened to the economy if instead of spending that money to bail out the housing markets and the banks the government directly gave that money to every person 15 and older one payment of about 1900$? That is about 260 million Americans. (as of today's census so it would be a few million lower in 2008) I included 15 and older because that's how wiki pedia broke it down and I justified it by thinking they are young adults and their decisions for what they wanted to do with the money would be quite impactful for the future.

I think that 1900$ to help people and make an impact at the bottom Would would been a pretty neat idea. But would the economy still have collapsed? Would we be worse off today if that happened? I have just been reading Act of Congress by Robert Kaiser and was thinking about it.

[Accommodation] Best way to find housing for students that can't view the apartment in person? + experiences spotahome

Hi! I just checked this subreddit's wiki and I also did some googling to find accommodation for my exchange period which runs from September until January. I'm 21 years old and I am looking for a private room in a house with preferably a lot of people (4+ people living in the same complex). I want to live in Sol, La Latina or Malasana.

I've collected the following websites:

Help Madrid, Atmosphere Living and ErasmusFlat, spot-a-home, ohmyroom, Madrideasy, Pisocompartido, loquo, Badi, Erasmusu & Uniplaces.

I also am planning on looking on the websites that are noted in the wiki (Idealista, Segundamano, Craigslist, EasyPiso, Fotocasa, En Alquiler)

Considering the fact that I won't be in Madrid until begin September, I'm really worried that I'll be stuck with a bad contract/get scammed. Therefore I want to ask you guys for advice. What would you do in my position? Would you wait until September to find accommodation? Would you try to find housing through sites likes Idealista right now and hope for the best? Or would you go with the more expensive agencies like spotahome just to get some assurance that everything will be okay?

By the way does anyone have any experience with the site Spotahome? And if you have any info on the other sites like Badi or Uniplaces please let me know; people are either very positive or very negative.

I'm kind of stressed out right now so I am looking forward to hearing from you all

housing assistance for older folks

I'm in my 50s. I'm not a bum. I went to college, got a master's degree. My profession fell apart. I hung on as long as I could. I've been home for over a decade working contract jobs online. Never enough money to save much. My age cuts the opportunity for most jobs. My not having a car kills the rest. I've had one phone interview in years and it was a joke.

My contract work might last until I'm eligible for Social Security but it might not. I don't want to be homeless. I'm looking for a battle plan or advice. I only bring it up because I know I'm not the only one.

My sister would have her friends come over and perform sexual acts with me when I was 6. My other older sister was also a bully to me.

I was 6 and she was about 10, her friends were slightly older girls. I received oral sex at the age of 6. I’m a 26 man and never had a girlfriend or had sex and sometimes I wonder if my upbringing has something to do with it. My other older sister would also bully me and at one point I had to live with her cause my mom got tired of raising me (behavior issues) and I slept on the kitchen floor for a year in my early teens and had to deal with her. She beat me with a belt once and would put her hands on me a lot and I received a lot of verbal abuse (i never put my hands on her). I never had a father. I did some “bad” things as a kid (bad grades, fights, attitude with mom) but nothing that warranted the treatment I received from them. I never had a girlfriend and I honestly think it’s cause I resent women due to my up bringing. Growing up I thought my life was normal. I have a lot of pain in me, I even had a close girlfriend (not romantic) tell me that she sensed there was something I was holding inside, something that I need to let out. I didn’t know what she meant until I was in my 20s. I’m afraid of developing relationships with people. Especially women. I don’t trust them. They can appear nice but what you do in private is what matters to me. I have to leave out a lot of details just in case. But I felt I needed to get this off my chest. The oldest one has a shitty life now so it made me a strong believer in karma. They’re both getting older and unmarried. Never apologized to their younger brother. They resent men cause their Dad left them I guess. Just sucks they never saw me as their little brother.

Nasty comments behind my back from a coworker who acts sympathetic to my face. Can't confront her without dobbing in the person who revealed what she's been saying, but hurting even more now when I was starting to feel like I was healing.

Basically, found out a coworker has been going around behind my back telling people she wouldn't be surprised if I'd lied about my miscarriage. I was an absolute wreck when it happened; was in and out of the ED for a whole week before they could even confirm that I had lost the baby. Covered in bruises from blood tests and IVs. Still have the reports telling me my baby was dead and stopped growing early on. The father bounced and left me to deal with it alone. But this nasty, disgusting person who calls herself a Christian and a 'good person' is telling people she thinks I was lying to get off of work...

I'm fuming. I'm disgusted. My heart is only now starting to heal and not spend every minute fighting off tears. And then I hear someone had the audacity to spread such awful stories about me. She had previously been telling people how lazy and incompetent I was shortly after it happened. Meanwhile, she acts nice and sympathetic to my face.

I know not everyone can be nice. But this is too far crossing a line.
