Trump is proposing a stimulus package plan to give every working American who is not a high income earner with at least 1000 dollars and potentially up to 4500 dollars annually to pump money into the economy. If this stimulus package plan is approved, what will you spend your money on? There are no right or wrong answers because it's your money, but if you say you're going to the strip club and or anything related to it, I am going to SMH and pull a Liam Neeson on you.

I'm not an adult, so I won't be getting any money, even if the plan goes into law. :lol:

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Ender_Antz is not a user. I believe the person you are referring to is Enderz.

More seriously, I might invest it.  Something tells me that Gerber, Procter & Gamble, and a few others will experience significant stock increases 9 months from now.

I would put half in the bank, and then probably go formicarium shopping or getting gifts to family members.

On a more serious note as well I would also invest it (I already have 1k in silver, might as well double it...)

Probably years worth.


Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
