At long last, a new coronavirus stimulus package is finally set to be passed by the US Congress. The last one expired at the end of July. Business Insider reports the long-awaited package will reportedly contain $600 stimulus checks and an extra $300 in weekly unemployment benefits. While the House has passed multiple bills that would have offered more to Americans, the GOP-controlled Senate has balked until now.

'Let them eat cake' trended on Twitter in response to the apparently inadequate $600 stimulus check. It's a famous utterance attributed to Marie Antoinette, representing the out-of-touch monied, ruling class overthrown in the French Revolution.
