"Thousands of people who were eligible for unemployment in Hawaii are starting to receive debit cards loaded with five hundred dollars to spend at restaurants.
The pre-loaded debit cards went out to more than 100,000 people.
It's meant to not only help people unemployed but also these businesses that have been hit hard by the pandemic."

Right? It’s a totally pragmatic win-win for unemployed folks and businesses.
@evamarie Will it be taxed? As I understand it, unemployment is but stimulus checks aren’t.
@evamarie This is the “‘bubble Up” economic theory that helps both human beings and businesses, rather than GOP supported “Trickle Down” theory where Trump gives hundreds of millions to corporations and they keep the money.
