There are some people who need the 1200 stimulus so why not that just unemployment for some

You misspelled welfare.

Our local school districts are paying for kids school supplies this fall.

I think the powers that shit on this country already approved that. So Trump doesn't need to do an EO. Trump actually wanted $2000 ...

I'm retired and struggling on soc sec. I used to play music gigs for extra money to get by. I never made enough to bother to report it, so I can't get unemployment for it. I was really hoping for that $1200. You folks might not realize it but there are a lot of musicians who are out of work who used to play for cash. The bars pay shit for musicians, so being tax free cash made it a way to survive. These folks are just screwed. I know quite a few of them. At least I'm old and I have social security, so I can just get by, but most working musicians are young.
The Dems are insane. God only knows what Pelosi will do in reaction to this upstaging of her power. She must be livid. How much will she make people suffer to block Trump?
I used to be a Dem. Most musicians I know have turned into Libertarians. I do know a crowd who think they are hippies who do free gigs to raise money for the local dems. I have to avoid them. It's crazy these days.
Even my local out door Farmer's Market won't have music this year. Some bars have out door patios they are using, and hire musicians mostly to be nice, since they have limited seating anyway. I'm in PA. The local bars and restaurants are desperately trying to eeck out some kind of living this summer, but wtf are these poor souls going to do with their businesses when it gets cold out?
People are having fun because the weather is awesome, but it's going to be really slim pickins for all kinds of jobs as soon as it gets cold out.
We are in dire straights, folks. I hope the Dems cough up some money for us because things are not going to get better anytime soon.

Imagine being this petty as a human being. Some people in this world just want to bitch, and bitch, and bitch. They have no shame or self-awareness at all. Their ranks have increased exponentially in the past 30 years.

Theyve all played the people.
The fake feud, stalling. Trump conveniently dashes in right before congress heads to the dumbs, I mean to vacation.

What he tossed out requires no work, no back talk, no more time/stalling, keep the citizens calm for this critical moment.

Nothing but theater.

The two 1200.00 checks are not welfare. It would be going toward school that is how I as a parent look at it. Instead of giving it to our shit school system to mismanage the money my kids will get a better education via laptop with an online school until the bioweapon, oops, I mean covid shit stops.

If you are calling the unemployment welfare I cannot speak to that as I don't collect it.

Ours isn't and it's bullshit. We have to have certain computers that run this or that and certain webcam. So much bullshit.

You could get cheaper computers on best buy but this last couple weeks they are fucking everyone on prices. I could have picked up one with the required stuff on it for 300$, the same one is now 1300$ and not even 1tb storage. FUCK BEST BUY

Hes right dick. Why do I have to go to work when you can make 50k not to go to work. There are jobs everywhere.

unless your working.....then your not getting shit.

I am younger so please explain something to me like I am 5 years old. Back in the day when men were men there were REAL wars. B dropping piss your pants kind of shit. Now they keep saying China did this virus shit bioweapon so where are all the nukes? IF you do nothing and let them get away with it you are an enabler and going to allow it to keep happening or worse.

All us wearing masks, distancing, getting ptsd, not having normal convos with neighbors or people in stores as stupid people are afraid. IS THIS LIVING? WE ARE THE LIVING DEAD. Who wants 5, 10, 20, 40, 50 years of living like this?

This is a serious question do you want to live like this.

Most bands here (also PA) want 500 bucks to play. If there's 4 of you 125$ a day tax free aint bad.

Where do you work, are they hiring?

You will be getting more take home pay with not having any Social Security tax taken out of paycheck til end of year. That should help.
