    I had the wrong # when I posted that previous message (which already has been sent.)

    Oops!

    So it's more like $5.31 per resident because it's actually only $85 million - not $85 billion.

    But I don't feel like we should be handing money out to people - let's hand the vaccine out to everyone instead!

    If people need money, there are jobs ready! If people need the vaccine, we
    need our government's help to give that out to them.

    Some more details are needed to correctly complain about it. But despite my mess up, these dollar amounts are alarming. Where is it really going?

    How is it that a low-income guy like me has everything I need, but the wealthy and elite of America are ordering me to pay the world's coronavirus debt?

    What do you know about the judge's connections, other than that he was appointed by Trump?

    He was appointed while Trump was president, but not by President
    Trump. Federal magistrate judges aren't appointed by the president.

    You are right. I saw that he was a federal judge who took office in
    2018 and thought that meant he was appointed by Trump. I was wrong. As
    a magistrate judge, he was appointed by the federal district judges.
