Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 600$/Week Federal Kicker

That is weird...now that I look at it some more.

You old fuggers use emojis too.....dont ya?

$600.

600$.

Yeah....the latter is weird.

Just type bucks or dollars or folding cash.

Got a buddy who's kid is 15 or 16. The kid reffed soccer games after school for 3 weeks at about $25 a crack. Then COVID hit and shut everything down. The kid's momma files for unenjoyment for him. Kid gets $4800 in arrears plus the 6 hundo a week. You can't make this stuff up.

You're a rich farmer. Probably driving around in one of them $80,000 diesel dually trucks, office in the house so's you can write that off, depreciation this- depreciation that, 6-9 Butler silos full of wheat waiting for the price to go up $0.50 a bushel, hiring help for 12 whole dollars an hour, and using child labor too!

Probably pulling in 600$ a day.

Thanks for the offer SC, but I'm close to Charleston. Would be a bit of a drive every morning.


Blackheart, I have thought about that. This area has several of those businesses but I absolutely hate cutting grass. One of the most boring jobs there is. Although, I'll do what I have to.

Gosh I like mowing lawn. A very easy way to make money. The guy I mentioned in my previous post gets 40.00 for an average in town lawn of 1/4 - 1/3 acre. I've watched him pull up out front of where I used to work, unload his zero turn, mow 3 lawns on that street and load the Z-turn back on the trailer in under 2 hours. A quick and easy 120.00 right there.

And when they catch the error he's going to have to pay it all back.

17 year old daughter is a waitress, $3.05/hr+tips.

$4800 reported income last year.

When they closed us down, she didn't want unemployment.
Said that as a kid she didn't need it, and it felt "wrong".

I watched how many people were milking it,how we were working to
earn what min wage folks were getting paid to not work. And I made her apply.
She works and saves. Trying to have money for college, and this was keeping
her from earning.

In 5 weeks she got around $3200. Ridicules considering her yearly,
But she has it ear marked for schooling. And I'm glad she did.

Back to work now, business is horrible, and many people aren't tipping.
Where she used to get $75-100 a night, now it's $30-40.

The "windfall" will probably work out to average over the year.

Personally, I have been partially furloughed every other week for over a month.
Tomorrow I will do most of the next two weeks worth of work.
One job next week that two of us will do in a day.
I'm glad for the extra money, but don't "need" it.
But, losing a third of your cash, while also not paying your
insurance or adding to retirement gets old fast.

Honestly, days off with good money is nice.

But I would prefer to have enough work to keep everyone busy.
This will soon lead to less senior guys losing their job.

That ain't no bull schit either. Every place I stop I see "We're Hiring" signs.

My kid is loving this stuff. He's 15 years old, working 3 jobs he likes and they pay well. He umps baseball games at $35/hr, works field maintenance for softball tournaments, a works at an archery shop.They're all glad to have him. Some of these kids don't want to work. He's picking up the slack and putting it in the bank.

And just look at all those 'so called' conservatives sitting home like good little bitches waiting on uncle sugars communist checks in the mail, pure BS!

Yep. I don't think you can get unemployment unless you're 18.
