Where's My #Stimmy? People Take to Social Media to Ask Where Their $600 is + MasterCard Tiptoes Into Trans Acceptance + 2021 Predictions!

<p><strong>Everyone is wondering:</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Where's my $600 Stimulus (or #Stimmy) as Twitter is calling it. It is leading to pissed off people and some hilarious memes (That I'm Sharing). I discuss more how big banks are talking to their customers about expectations.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/WellsFargo/status/1344414369485123585"><strong>Wells Fargo</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Chase/status/1344297218681933826"><strong>Chase</strong></a><strong> have been surprisingly good in tweeting links on basic info on how it works.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/BankofAmerica/status/1343557315677413378"><strong>Bank of America is telling you that you need to save more as you are broke and without a job.</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Plus, I talk about something interesting from Mastercard. </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Mastercard/status/1336679493600219143"><strong>They launched a program called True Name</strong></a><strong> which allows Trans/Non-Binary people to get a credit card in the name they chose for themselves.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://banking.citi.com/cbol/updatemyname/default.htm?BTData=DI7.B.gAB4f.B.Byy.SDrL.eDA.lN*.w8*.Bj.SX.0f.E&amp;ProspectID=7BA9C8C6636A4B0A8503E4A4DDD89F8E"><strong>While I applaud the effort for inclusivity, the fact that it is only available on "Certain" Citi Cards tells me it's more a placation of preferred clients than a need to be more inclusive, as some of the more popular cards are not allowed to have the program.</strong></a></p> <p><strong>I also discuss how Mastercard is selling the troubleshooting of issues that can arise if ID doesn't match card and a merchant refuses to help you. I discuss how Pollyanna-ish Mastercard is in assuming the world of business stops while a store owner is forced to call a number to verify you, which in turn puts your gender identity in full display of everyone within earshot. It's a hard topic, but I wanted to discuss it.</strong></p> <p><br></
