The Atlanta-filmed The Falcon and the Winter Soldier streams on Disney+ on Friday, March 19, 2021. WandaVision aside, the movie is the first big-budget series since Endgame.
Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Winston (the Falcon) and Sebastian Stan plays Bucky Barnes (the Winter Soldier) set in the Cinematic Marvel Universe (MCU).
In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, including how you can watch it for free.
What Is The Falcon And The Winter Soldier?
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier is a six-episode Marvel Studios series based on two prominent characters associated with the Avengers.
Like all superhereo movies, the plot delves into the fight of good vs. evil, but this one also examines patriotism and nationalism in modern times.
A major plot point is also who will be the next Captain America. The U.S. Army wants to groom Agent John Walker as the heir apparent, although the Falcon, in possession of Cap’s shield, has other plans.
Where Was The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Filmed?
The majority of the scenes from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were filmed in metro Atlanta, specifically at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville just outside Georgia’s largest city.
Additional scenes were filmed in Prague, Czech Republic in the fall of 2020, and some other places.
Production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and resumed about six months later under strict safety protocols. The production code for the film was Tag Team.
The series, which is expected to be a big hit, was written by Malcolm Spellman.
The series picks off right where Endgame left off in 2019 and has continuity with the MCU. Mackie, speaking to Reuters says the series tackles some of the uncertainty after the blockbuster movie.
“The biggest question is ‘What is the new normal post-blip?’,” Mackie told Reuters. “Everyone is trying to figure out how they fit back into society. So that’s the big question that’s answered.”

The U.S. government has been sending stimulus checks to millions of Americans as part of trillion-dollar economic packages to deal with the disruption that the coronavirus pandemic has caused.
To get your stimulus money, you won’t have to fill out any forms or submit anything. They have tried to make it easy.
Stimulus Checks: Everything You Need To Know
In this article, we’ll discuss everything you need to know about stimulus payments.
If the IRS doesn’t have any banking information on you, they will mail out debit cards, called Economic Impact Payment (EIP) Cards. Scroll down to learn more about these stimulus debit cards.
The only way you won’t get a stimulus check if if you don’t have a Social Security number or you can be claimed as a dependent by someone else. Also, if you make more than $75,000, the check will begin to phase out.

How To Get Your Stimulus Check
Many people have lost their jobs and others have lost their health because of the deadly virus, so the money is very much needed. Here is everything you need to know about the stimulus check.
What Is A Stimulus Check?
A stimulus check is a government payment sent to taxpayers to stimulate the economy.
The idea behind stimulus checks is for consumerism to spark consumption and for dollars to make their way to businesses and companies.
Stimulus checks have been used before by the U.S. government to fuel economic growth.
How Much Is The Stimulus Check?
Each eligible American is generally set to receive $1,200 and $500 for each child under age 17. The money will be sent by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Because it’s based on your IRS filing status, most Americans will get a $1,400 stimulus payment.
Here is what your finances need to be to get the third round of stimulus checks:
- Married couples who make less than $150,000 qualify.
- Head of households who make under $112,500 qualify.
- Single individuals who make less than $75,000 qualify.
When Is Your Stimulus Check Coming?
Stimulus checks started to be mailed in mid-March 2021 based on a schedule conceived by the Biden Administration. Here’s how to track it.
- If your stimulus check hasn’t come yet, check IRS website
- Your check may be delayed due to situations beyond the government’s control
- Here’s how to know when your stimulus check money is coming
If your direct deposit information is not on file with the IRS and you’re waiting on a paper check, it could take up to five months, according to one report.
Will You Get A Stimulus Check Debit Card?
As many as 4 million Americans will get stimulus check debit cards, called Economic Impact Payment (EIP) Cards. These people are the ones who don’t have banking information on file with the IRS.
That means the agency is unable to send your stimulus via direct deposit or check. Here are some things to know about your EIP card.
- You can use your EIP card anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted, including online and in-store.
- You can also get cash back at the register with PIN debit purchases at participating merchants
- If you have problems, you can call Customer Service at 1.800.240.8100 (TTY: 1.800.241.9100)
See the EIPcard.com website created by the Treasury for more information.
How To Avoid Stimulus Scams
There have already been some stimulus scams to pop up. The FBI is warning people to be on the lookout for criminals who are looking to pounce on the uninformed.
Here’s what you can be sure of:
- You won’t have to pay a fee to get a stimulus check
- No entity can “rush” your stimulus check, so don’t fall for it
- The government won’t ever call you and ask you for your personal information over the phone
Last Words
For people looking to bounce back after losing significant income, you may have some ideas on how to spend your stimulus check. Here are some great ways to put your stimulus check to good use.

Stimulus Check 101: 5 Things You Need To Know
This article is going to tell you who is eligible for the second stimulus check, which is expected to be rolled out later this year.
1. What’s Included In Second Stimulus Check?
Here is what Senate Republicans have included in the second stimulus check, which is part of the Cares Act 2. The following benefits have been finalized:
The new legislation gives $600 to most eligible Americans. Congress is specifically looking to help lower-income Americans who make less than $40,000 a year.
2. When Will I Get My $1.400 Stimulus Check?
The Treasury Department and IRS started sending stimulus money to Americans on December 29, 2020. In the best circumstances, it could have taken a day or two or up to two weeks to get your payments.
The IRS says there’s been a delay due to them sending the checks out to old account numbers and other technical problems. The agency says it should all be fixed now.
3. Who Qualifies For Third Stimulus Check?
Here’s who is eligible for the third stimulus check
- A third $1,400 payment would go to each eligible U.S. citizen who earns less than $75,000 a year ($150,000 for couples who file taxes jointly).
- Dependents could qualify for a second $1,400 stimulus payment, which doubles what they could receive in the first stimulus package.
4. How Will My Stimulus Check Come?
Your stimulus check will come in either of three forms: a paper check, via direct deposit or on a prepaid Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) card.
The IRS says EIP cards are being sent to Americans via mail.
5. Can I Track My Stimulus Check?

Did you get your last stimulus check? Because another one is on the way.
The Biden Administration’s nearly $2 trillion coronavirus relief plan has been approved. That means a third stimulus check is coming for most Americans.
The relief package being floated in government circles — the American Rescue Plan — includes stimulus money that can help needy Americans. The plan passed with zero Republican support, but because the Democrats were able to get a simple majority, we have a package.
But let’s get to the good stuff: When is your stimulus coming? We’re going to tell you that and more.
Third Round Of Stimulus Checks: Everything You Need To Know
Government cash has been distributed to Americans in waves since the coronavirus pandemic began last March. Not only is the money needed to shore up the economy, but regular Americans are struggling to find work as unemployment numbers start to creep up again.
It’s understandable that you’d have some questions about the new stimulus checks and we’re going to answer them. Here is everything we know about the third stimulus checks.
1. How Much Will The Third Stimulus Check Be?
Because the IRS and Treasury Department facilitated sending out the $600 at the beginning of the year, the third round of stimulus checks is for $1,400.
For those keeping score, that’s a total of $2,000 in government help, which many nations across the globe have committed to on a monthly basis.
2. When Will The Stimulus Checks Arrive?
While the political wrangling often takes days in Congress, the actual process of getting that money into the hands of Americans will be swift.
Hours after the relief package was approved by President Biden, the White House said it would be making its way to American bank accounts in days.
Of course, that won’t be the case with everybody. If may be months before the payments arrive, analysts say.
3. What’s Taking So Long?
The IRS has gone on record to say that their online systems have been overwhelmed when stimulus checks are involved. The truth is that for all Americans to get paid, it’s going to take some time.
Congress painstakingly approved a relief package in April 2020 that took weeks to go out. In the last week of the year, U.S. lawmakers freed up more than $900 billion for a stimulus package that gave each Americans $600, and that also took time for some U.S. citizens.
Final Thoughts
If you need help finding out what’s up with your money, go to IRS.gov, the official site of the Internal Revenue Service, and see if they can help you.
With many workers still preparing for layoffs, lawmakers are poised to approve more stimulus money down the road.

If you’re looking for some masks in Atlanta, you probably already know that supplies can be fluid. No matter if you want to buy surgical masks, N95 or KN95 masks, they can be found on the internet.
In this article, we’ll share some places where you can find masks online as well as local places where you can purchase masks to protect you against COVID-19.
As the pandemic continues to rage, the importance of wearing a mask has only grown. The result has been that store shelves have seldom been able to keep a steady surplus of masks. If you don’t want to make your own, what kind of mask should you buy?
What Kind Of Mask Should I Buy?
The basic functions of a mask are to stop droplets from entering your mouth and nose. But that can be hard to decipher when you’re looking for deals in-store or online.
When shopping for a mask, buy those that have at least two layers of fabric. What you don’t want is a mask that is too large or too small or doesn’t cover your nose and mouth.
For easy adjusting, the masks should loop around the ears or be able to be tied behind the head.
Do Cloth Masks Protect Me Against COVID?
Most health experts say that cloth masks work fine in preventing the spread of droplets from the wearer. According to the CDC, face masks are required in public settings during the pandemic.
Cloth masks also can help reduce the chance that you’ll infect others if you have the virus.
On the other hand, the gold standard for facial protection against COVID are N95 masks, according to health experts.
When shopping for a face mask, here are some do’s and don’ts you want to consider.
Do Don’t Wear Two Masks If Possible Wear Masks That Are Hard To Breathe Through Completely Cover Your Nose & Mouth Wear Masks With Exhalation Values Or Vents Make Sure It Fits Snug With No Gaps Wear Disposable Masks Over And Over Again These stores in your local area have N95 masks in stock as of this writing. The following retail stores don’t carry N95 masks but they do have varieties of surgical and cloth face masks for sale.
Where To Find N95 Masks Online
Unless you are a health professional, you likely won’t be needing to order N95 masks online. But if you’re a private citizen just trying to protect yourself by buying masks approved by either the CDC and the FDA, the internet’s the place.
Let’s look at some N95 masks you can purchase online.

6. Start An OnlyFans
If you’re familiar with OnlyFans, don’t get it twisted: While the site seems to have a large fanbase only interested in intimacy, it’s a legit money-making platform.
OnlyFans is a digital content platform that allows you to charge viewers for photos and videos. You can knit a blanket and make money by showing others how it’s done.
The site charges 5 cent commission for the opening months. If you get just between 1% and 5% of your audience to subscribe, you could make between $1,499 and $7,495 per month, according to the site.
