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 ? Doing nothing would of been fair to everyone. Closing some businesses down and not others doesn't sound fair, and compensating some businesses and not others isn't fair. It's been bs from the beginning and unfair to the taxpayers for generations to come. We've spent a good chunk of our reserves making it through this and if we have a severe hurricane this year we could have major financial problems.
Life is good live it while you can.

$875 would be sweet to sit on the riverbank with a cane pole between my toes.
Unless that’s a rumor. What khan/ wife got the 4wks she was layed off. 275 max from tn and 600 from unca suga Normally makes 1250 ish every 2 weeks after taxes. 2 week check 1750 unemployment. Fugged up paying people more than what they made. Employers shoulda been able to input before layoffs what employees max shoulda been. Just gonna create a bunch of fuggs who dont wanna go back to work until this blown out UI runs out.

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. Exactly....

The democrats are concentrating on keeping the house and wining the senate. With both senate and house they will not care who is president. Besides they can impeach with control in both houses. Do not let the democrats sucker you.

Yeah, I heard tonight that our state Legislators are "working from home" , but still drawing daily per diem to a max of 26K a year.
Outrageous, if true.

36 mil doesn't begin to cover it.
That's only the people that were working for others.
There's millions more small business owners that are SOL, and since they are self-employed, can't get unemployment benefits, so they remain uncounted.
And unless they found a way to get a .gov scamulus check, they haven't received a dime since this thing started.
End of March to middle of May, so far, with no income.
Their lives destroyed, so liberals could feel better. Actually the self employed are eligible for the $600 Federal money if they can prove prior income. They need to apply for UI through their state unemployment department, so they are being tracked. They are not necessarily eligible for state UI benefits but that's how they are getting the Fed kicker. I'm working on contract for several states UI offices helping to get people's claims right so that's how I know.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

None of my family or close neighbors are off, but the family members are working from home, at least some of the time (private industry). One neighbor works for FEMA, and is often pretty idle anyway. The other is an Air Traffic Controller, and goes in as usual.
What fresh Hell is this?

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 only have they not laid anybody off, they've taken tax money to create more. LOL

The sad part is that, ir it were Obama who created this depression and then favored a law that would give people more freebiemoochies for not working than for working, we would all be denouncing him as a commie. Donald, get a grip. The election is in a few short months and I don't want to live in a country run by Schumer and Pelosi.
News this morning: Production output dropped in April more than in any month since they started measuring it in 1919.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

We all made our choices in life. I decided for the risky fishing and tourism lifestyle rather than a stable government job.
Most years i come out way ahead, and get piles of time off to pursue other things. This year who knows. But, it’s the choice I made.
Life was never supposed to be zero risk.

I completely agree but that would have been allowing a good crisis to go to waste. They had to get as many new addicts to govt crack as they could and holy cow did they ever manage that in spades. Ironically the left are the ones who holy trinity includes “fairness” (equity, inclusion, diversity).

Wifey working from home, but has to go back to office on Monday. I’ve been working 3 days a week, but back full time on Monday. We didn’t get any stimulus money, but kept our jobs and paychecks. I’m thankful for that. The time off made me think a lot about retirement, a whole lot.
