Negotiations for second stimulus check gives us less money, but will be extending unemployment benefits. FU to the Senate

Go ahead and sit on your asses. Because, before long the Government will own it, and you. You will do as your told, or you don't get paid. Including, taking untested vaccines. The Government wants the people to rely on them. Then they can pull your strings anytime they want. And, they already have. Better wake up. You're nothing but puppets to a master who will let you live in squalor, while they party in mansions laughing at all of you.

My job is in the oilfield but it's doing site clearance work using shrimp boats to clean up oil platform sites once the site has been removed. The projects are mandated by the government so shrimpers don't bust their nets so it's not reliant on the price of oil per say but the government allowed the oil companies to postpone all their required work for a year due to covid19 and since its seasonal the work won't start back up till next summer.

It's actually 600 plus in case of florida 275

So 875 weekly

Which is more than most low wage people earn

If some are only making 30p, 400, 500, 600, 700 weekly working buy vam get 876 sitting home then why wouldn't they?

Plus they pay no income tax I dont think

My wife is an NP works in hospital with covid pts

They dont get any kinds of bonuses for risking their lives daily

Not only that but their annual pay wages they get arent happening this year

So, the nurses and NPs, CNAs who risk their lives faily and their family lives daily dony get a bonus, hazard pay, and got fucked out of a raise this year

This is a North Carolina Hospital not sure about other hospitals

you talk about being screwed with bo appreciation

You would think the bill would include some kind of hazard pay for people working directly with covid pts, but nope, it doesnt

Yet, people who choose to sit on their asses all day in their basements away from the covid get extra money to do so

How the fuck does that make any sense?

There are jobs out there if you want one

Print Another Trillion!

If Karen is a shotgun, then yes.

Weird!

Why should I be jealous over people getting unemployment?

I really don't care what happens, I want people to stay

alive and want the government to do what it can so people

stay engaged.

I'm grateful to be an essential worker.

Some of these posts make me wonder who the poster is?

They are constantly putting people against each other.


People have no life WITHOUT A JOB!!!

They do nothing except worry over surviving.

And you want me to be jealous over that??

There “is” jobs everywhere. Lol

It 100% does come out of our pockets.

Right. NOT ONE RED CENT MORE. Must NEVER give the slaves more than starvation wages. NEVER.

Help those making under $50,000 a year?

I can confirm this. Some of my family are oil workers in Louisiana and some work in the pipeline from up north. They get paid big bucks, per diem, and for their equipment. They make 120,000 to 200,000 per year consistently.

No there are not jobs everywhere. We still have close to 90% unemployment where I live. The economy (stupidly) had become almost entirely dependent on tourism and since there is none (to speak of) right now, no work.

Typical GLP denizens. You new here?

The Catholic "Church" got 1.5 BILLION.

Welcome to late-stage capitalism, pal. Total collapse comes next. It was inevitable, even without covid. Falling rate of profit, among other things.

You honestly believed that freaking TRUMP would bring back the salad days?! Honestly?!? lol

I work in live entertainment so every concert or mass gathering is my profession. Started off working for local bands and what not and are now working for A-list artists. I'm at the top of my profession as an audio engineer mixing shows. We can make up for 5k a week working for acts like Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, etc.

We're roadies. Roadies make a good amount of money but it's brutal work that's really hard on our bodies. We work for 3-4 months at time, get a few weeks off, and then back out on the road. Many of us don't even get to spend time with our families, we simply send money back home to support our families.

I'm starting to fall into a funk. All I know is working non-stop. I've never not be able to support my family. I've never not been on the road. I want to go back to work so badly and it's becoming increasingly more depressing watching this continue to unravel.


I'm not on unemployment by choice. Like I said previously, I've been applying for whatever job I can find but nothing pays anything remotely the same in order to support us and I've actually had people laugh and say that they are looking to hire people they know won't quit the moment their jobs are available again.

I didn't qualify for the stimulus because I made too much in 2019. Ok, no biggie.. but now I've been out of work since March. We're now 1/2 way through July and the only income I've made is unemployment and that's being shut down too so I go from 4-5k a week to $450 a week because a large group of assholes that were already jobless refuse to go back to their minimum wage jobs so that they can use and abuse the system. Things are about to get really really interesting. Those of us that have paid into it for 20 years and never in a million years thought they would actually need to receive help are about to get the boot.

We are being told unofficially that I won't work again in my industry until Fall 2021.

But we aren't sitting on our asses. We're trying to get jobs. Why do you think all of the people on unemployment are dead beats?

I want to work. I'd give anything to go back to my job! I'd fly out tomorrow and return to work if they'd let me. I didn't ask for this. The government told me I wasn't allowed to work.

We need at cat 5 in Florida. Start tf over.

It's funny people are arguing over dollar amounts of funny money, like it actually matters.

97% of mortgages are owned by the Feds.

The stock & commodities markets are rigged by the Feds.

It's all a shell game.

Worthless parasites like yourself have no future

No, you're a please look at me attention whore. Who cares if it is shit to you? You comment lends nothing to the conversation. You cannot even see how dumb you look. Plus you assumed I was broke, which I am not, but I won't scream about how well to do I am either, only a fool does that. And who makes fun of people with less? Only an asshole would do that.

I very much agree. What the gentleman poster you quoted is dealing with is exactly the ending of an economic scale in a society. Employers are no longer looking for smart, hard working, or even educated people in high demand. What they really want when the say "Sorry we're looking for someone that we know won't leave us the second their profession is back “, is “we are looking for someone who is willing to be underpaid, overworked with no chance of promotion that we can treat like literal shit for a long time to come, then fire without cause with no benefits, and won’t cause a stink.

This type of society in reality isn’t capitalism. True capitalism is nobody ever gets a bailout. We have been engaged in corporate welfare in this country for nearly 2 decades. These companies then give kickbacks to the political elite. If it were totally up to them and they could get away with it they’ed alll be walking on streets of 14 carat gold and we’d alll be beaten with bull whips.

There are two more of the additional $600 unemployment checks before it ends on the 25th and 26th and the eviction prevention rule from the last bill ends on the 25th so congress has to hurry quick.

this if you cant pay your bills on 600 per week. you are a dumbass plain and simple no sympathy for you … you greedy dumbass capitalist

It's going to be crazy when this runs out. The economy will go fully in shitter if they do not extend the unemployment.

I know! It's not like there are any reserve requirements anymore and they have printed out $12 trillion extra since Jan 1, so why lower the payment?
