Publication Time Change and Significant 8/5 Post Correction
Good evening all readers,
Today, there will not be a regular post. In addition, future Wednesday posts will be moved up one day to Thursday evening starting this week. The publication time on both Sundays and Thursdays will remain the same (8pm PST).
The main purpose of tonight's post is to provide an apology and correction regarding a portion of content presented in the August 5, 2020 post Comparing the CARES Act with the HEROES and HEALS Acts. I published incorrect information regarding one of the key programs explored in that post, the CARES Act's Economic Impact Payments (or "stimulus checks"). On the original post, I stated that under all three plans, the Economic Impact Payments are (or would be) monthly payments. Last night, I realized that I had incorrectly stated this, as the program consists of a one-time payment to those eligible. As of the time that you are reading this, I corrected both the text and table of the earlier post, and linked this announcement to the "Author's Notes" section. I want to apologize for this mistake, take full responsibility for it, and iterate that the presentation of such incorrect information was not intentional. In the future, I will make sure to more careful about how I write and present information presented on this blog, especially pertaining to programs, institutions, and people.
