Also when the ppp money runs out for businesses or after the 8 or so weeks has passed there will be more layoffs

This shouldn't be a citizens vs citizens debate. The idea that people shouldn't have been getting paid $1000 a week to be home vs people should have been getting hazard pay is dumb. BOTH things should have happened.
People who worked through the whole pandemic shouldn't be mad at the unemployed. I had a job making significantly more than $1000 a week and I would've worked all pandemic if I had the choice to not get laid off. I've been applying for jobs in my field ever since and the job market is dry.
Don't get fooled by Trump's monthly reports that jobs are up. If you're someone who works an essential job like Walmart or whatever, thank you for all you did for the public when it was needed but people aren't gonna give up on their career field that they worked hard to get into and go work as a barista because the government doesn't wanna help
other countries have gotten way more financial help than we have in America so stop pinning the blame on the working class and direct your anger where decisions are being made.

Government ain’t here for us. Especially when we need them. These fools never pass up a chance to fight with each other.

I haven't really kept up with the unemployment situation elsewhere, but am genuinely curious to know what exactly other countries are doing to help out their citizens. The only thing I specifically recall hearing about was UK reimbursing businesses 2/3 of an employee's wage if the company kept them on payroll despite being shut down, IIRC.

We’re really gonna do the both sides thing with this? It’s pretty damn clear who is holding up really helping us out.

Hopefully McConnell croaks soon. He’s pushing 80 so hopefully he only has a few years left on this planet.

kinda late here to raise hell for hazard pay but that’s what I had to do at my job back in April and we been getting a nice monthly bonus since. Ain’t mad at anybody sitting home collecting only mad at the *******s who spend it on firecrackers and keep the neighborhood up all night. Glad those people lost it **** em
