West Virginia Governor Jim Justice (a weird moderate conservative who gets away with random policy deviations because he’s the richest guy in the state, pro-coal, and endorsed Trump) is the first Governor in the country to throw down money for people to get vaccinated. Even if it’s a savings bond lol
Nothing can ever be simple though can it? Nothing can ever be simple cash without bureaucratic hurdles and delivered in a confusing format that also coincidentally allows the financial industry to wet their beaks.
The joke is that government bonds were appealingly thematic for long-term savings in the high-tax postwar Golden Age OR the high-immediate-inflation Reaganite Silver Age but there’s no particular angle for them rn
