It should be up to the government to clean up their mess. If they tell you to stay home, they should be the ones to replace your wages.
Absolutely. Them folks can file for unemployment no? Without the 2 week waiting time. So they're bitching for nothing. And they get dat trump check mid April. People just like to bitch.

He really needs to be evaluated for mental health. He is not stable and it is now costing actually lives and not just amusing like it was before this pandemic.
maybe he knows something he can't outright say about the equipment

Don't know about stateside, but for me unemployment would be about 40% of my usual wage. Nowhere near enough to keep the proverbial trains running. They should be asking everyone who's out of work what this is costing them, and pay them that.

Two things can be true at once. Trump is obviously using diversion to hide his own horrible incompetence, but there is no doubt that this is happening on some level.

Look what happened with chloroquine. Doctors started doing such a massive run on all the stock with fake scripts:

Doctors Are Hoarding Unproven Coronavirus Medicine by Writing Prescriptions for Themselves and Their Families — ProPublica

And this is what they are usually up to:

Amid opioid epidemic, report finds more doctors stealing prescriptions

You think these dirty thieving junkies aren't going to be taking full advantage of this situation? Frankly I wouldn't trust one of them to run an MMA forum let alone guard coronavirus supplies.

aka the natives get restless and violent because the cupboards are bare and bills are overdue
Kind of what happened in during the second world war, when people rioted the streets because they had to ration... oh, no, that didn't happen...

What happened to people...

Usually $450 a week but now $600.
When I needed it a few years back you got a check every 2 weeks.

unemployment is swamped and non functional in a lot of states
and it is very complicated for self employed people who are forced to not work

you can spend 8 hours on the phone and not even get thru to them in Oregon

they went from like 10,000 claims to hundreds of thousands overnight and still have the same staff

So it really isn't that easy...just giving you the information on how it works here

and it is not even enough for some peoples mortgages let alone insurances and food and condoms.

That varies state to state on what the max benefit is.

We just checked in due to our business possibly having to lay people off and the most a person in Virginia can get is $378 a week. That's uhhh.. That's pretty bad.

haha Ok

take my rights
take my money
take my freedom

State of emergency is only words right now...if it holds up long enough it will actually become one

not asking for fun or easy...just saying what will make this country collapse


Point is your "they can file for unemployment" statement doesn't hold water, full of holes my man.

i don't know
what happened?

I was not born
The American spirit has become diluted maybe? People bitch about sitting two weeks at home? Lot of complaining. Write a letter to China I would say. We need this quarantine, you heard the experts. Nothing we can change about it. Hopefully the government will provide money, but damn, to be relying on government to get you out of this, that is a tough spot. It's scary.

No it is in effect. One step away from martial law. All that freedom shit goes out the window then. We have pretend freedom, pretend rights, and pretend money. We're 5 government checks away from toilet paper becoming our new currency. (I know, over-dramatic, but it was cool to say)

I respect your opinion on the first part, mine is slightly different but to each their own

and this part
relying on government to get you out of this, that is a tough spot. It's scary.
is dead on, and that is exactly where we are at for tens of millions of people

That is what I am talking about, shit about to get real.

FYI I am not and have never relied on the Govt to get me out of anything

I speak for the huge percentage of the population who has and will continue to do so...those people are gonna be off the hook very soon...businesses, relationships, homes, mental health, etc...are all ticking time bombs here(possibly just as bad as the virus)

my point is what will be coming will make this current situation look tame and peaceful

So California is normally $450
And Virginia in $378
I believe the stimulus package have additional money that’s added to those numbers. That’s why I read it’s $600 in Cali now.
