Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:
- Trump signs stimulus and government spending bill into law, averting shutdown
- Trump Signs Pandemic Relief Bill After Unemployment Aid Lapses
- Trump signs stimulus bill ahead of government shutdown, releasing checks and aid
- Trump signs COVID relief bill amid pressure, but adds conditions
Not gonna summarize all the bits in it - it's some 5k pages of legalese gobbledygook, but I understand it continues augmented unemployment benefits, eviction suspension, funding to prevent government shutdown, and another direct cash payment.
I'm sure it also has a bunch of "porky pork", but the people are suffering, time is of essence, and it should have been done months ago.

Other countries with less US-type economic and social policies are doing better, while countries that went all in copying the USA model (UK for the last decade) are fucked. Both economically and covid-wise.'
You need to stop confusing the stock market and the real market
And reality with your fantasies.
No wonder China will beat you in terms of the largest economy in 5 years.
And you have a president pulling shit that, if it were anywhere else, you'd be screaming "coup."
You can't even run an election properly because you've got 70 million whackos, many too stupid to wear a mask during a pandemic. That's a special kind of dumb. The US and the UK - two countries that show themselves in the foot repeatedly the last 4 years. And will continue to do so.
