I work in a difficult trade away from my family for long periods to be able to afford a fraction of what my parents had on a single income. Think I’m getting a single cent of that rebate?
extra money in the pocket is always nice but wish our government went a little further- maybe tackle why prices are so high?

Galen Weston is eligible for it. Everyone else is just a link in the chain.
This is a direct wealth transfer from taxpayers to shareholders because government is too compromised and/or chickenshit to implement a tax policy that discourages profiteering.
- Fair, but this isn't just free money for grocery stores -- it's no-strings-attached cash that will be spent where people most need it. Which, yes, will be groceries for a lot of people.
  I don't like the handling of grocery gouging, but this specific rebate is not the problem.
