Editorial: Stop discriminating financially against taxpayers without Social Security numbers (via latimesopinion)
in court filings that withholding checks from couples with mixed filing statuses violates the 5th Amendment guarantees of equal protection and due process. Whether that’s so is an issue for the courts to work out. But as a matter of fairness and effectiveness, limiting the payments to just those with Social Security numbers is hard to justify.
If the intent was to spur the economy, it made no sense to leave out taxpayers who are active buyers of goods and services simply because they didn’t file using a Social Security number. And before the immigration hard-liners start squawking about people living and working here without permission, many of those with the alternative numbers are here legally. They just don’t meet the criteria for joining Social Security.

Because of the pandemic, we’re unable to swarm outdoor café tables and sip together while forking bite after bite of calamari, and any poolside or porch rosé-drinking is happening either alone or six feet away from anyone else. But that doesn’t mean that you should write off the pink stuff for the springtime. Actually, I’d argue that rosé is exactly what we all need right now, because it’s such a beautiful, delicious reminder that sunny days absolutely do lie ahead.
