I plan on supporting Apple or Samsung in these tough times. Those two companies are hugely American.

But seriously, how many people will just burn through this check on unnecessary items? I get that companies still need purchases, but this money should really be used to help with rent or groceries -- really not much more.

Apple is a piece of shite liberal company that virtue signals while taking advantage of slave wages in Foxconn.

You should use a different search method:

Which flagship phones aren't made in China?
LINK

"Given these concerns with Chinese companies and the fact that phones from Huawei, ZTE, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Motorola, TCL, Apple, Google, and others are made in China, we wanted to see what other options people may have for phones made outside of China.

Asus Zenphone 6 (Taiwan)
Asus Zenphone 5Z (Taiwan)
LG ThinQ 8 (South Korea)
LG V40 (South Korea)
LG V50 (South Korea)
Galaxy Note 10/10 Plus (South Korea)
Sony Xperia 1 (Japan)
Sony Xperia XZ3 (Japan)
Sony Xperia 10 Plus (Japan)

The point is to spend it. There is money missing out of the economy this is an attempt to plug the hole.

I don’t necessarily agree with the tactic but if that’s the route we are going so be it. Kinda like I don’t necessarily agree with the mass quarantine but it’s the plan so let’s take it seriously.

Edit: get an iPhone. I have tried droids, Apple makes the best out the box phones

This stimulus is bigger than the 2009 one ($250 ), and that stimulus did practically nothing.

I am hoping with the help of corporations via loans and other items will work this time. I do see the dollar falling in value because this is essentially printing money, but the dollar falling isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Right. Like paying people to dig a hole and paying other people to fill it up will stimulate the economy. Good grief. Wasting money is never a way to build wealth. Better off burning it.

Just explaining what the intent is. If it were my call there would be no stimulus checks, just bridge loans to help businesses make payroll and service debt.

This stimulus is a bit more logical though. The economy was doing fine, great even, this is an attempt to keep momentum by borrowing from the future.

The 2009 was supposed to be a kick start from a dead stop.

Again I don’t live the idea of a stimulus because it’s going to do nothing for the industries that have been forced to stop.
