I expected the same. Colleague of mine runs a local SaaS to give restaurants an online presence, including online ordering. This week orders went up 60%...because people got their $1200.

Americans don't know how to budget and will buy stuff just because they feel like it.

Edit: I did buy a pricey swing set for my 2 toddlers. But I wanted to buy one last year was denied. This lockdown convinced my wife otherwise.

People have it really easy there. I'm from India and the needy are getting $10 per month.

I think its $70 per month accounting for PPP, but even then the difference is massive

Sorry not $10, more like $7
