In full disclosure, I work for the local Fire Department and EMS Dispatch Center and I am working full time. With that said, I know of MANY people in our City government that are "working" and there is practically zero need for them right now.

That's how many people have been kicked out of their jobs during the last four months and filed for unemployment.
Wanna bet that NOT A SINGLE ONE of them is a government employee?
Not even remotely close. With tax revenue down, MANY governments are laying off workers.
City of Tacoma City of Cheyenne Rancho Cucamonga Fullerton City State of Michigan L.A. Augusta Phoenix East Lansing Duluth Santa Monica Portsmouth Circuit City (wait....)
I could go on and on for an hour.
So, no.
Local and state jurisdictions are laying off folks left and right. We will likely see some government BK's because of this. Las Vegas already issued a state of economic emergency due to the loss of tax revenue. They may be insolvent by the end of the year.

You despair, repeatedly, constantly! daily basis? A despair ninny. Sack up, despire ninny.
The goal for the Democrats in the next few months will be to get as many people as possible addicted to government crack. Then, they will make universal base income an issue during the election.

It will be a major issue and it’ll play well.
Bernie’s supporters are alive and well as are newer converts.

Our restaurant opened Monday but the two bars are still closed down. The government giving away money to some businesses was the wrong thing to do and penalized other businesses. Then you take the unemployment raise and stimulus package wasn't anywhere near fair. Those that pay the most in taxes didn't receive any stimulus money. It won't be long before the government cuts SS and Medicare so the freeloaders and deadbeats can still receive their welfare and health care. Who was the POTUS that signed this bill?

TG, Trump and his team did the best that they could under the circumstances and they did it as quickly as possible.
Was it perfect and totally effective,,,,well, no, it wasn’t and it isn’t.
Would your preference have been just do nothing ?

i know several people here in Mi. drawing 760.00 a week that never even had a freaken job. Just claim financial hardship from covid. No history, no pay stubs, no employer, no freaken problem just claim a flat 160.00 weekly income and get your 760.00 a week. My brother got laid off from a tubing shop and was laughing because his unemployment for one week was 4 dollars more than his two week takehome check. Unfuckingbelievable!!!
