Many people who have been living on EDD benefits will have their free money dry up starting September 6th and it doesn't seem like another extension is coming.
First, a lot of lazy people who have been sucking at the teet for a year and a half are about to be angry they can't receive a pay check for sitting on their ass. Who, where, and how will this anger be directed?
There will be an entire new group of people re-entering the workforce who have been out of work for a long time due to free gibs, almost 8 million people. How will this effect the economy? Positive, negative, both?
I can't fully explain why but it feels like an important marker, but it feels like a big deal. What do you all think?
As someone who has been on unemployment this year, I have a totally different take on all of this. For 15 years, i have been working from home, self-employed. For years, i have watched the same people stay on welfare and work the system who have been given insurance benefits, food stamps and money each month while we slave away working full time, but not able to afford insurance and not buying steaks and lobster, etc.. with our money. Everyone who received unemployment had to be people who were working at least a year full time before receiving unemployment, at least in our state. These are not the welfare and lazy people. Our state provides the lowest unemployment benefits and you cannot hold any job part time or seasonal, etc. and still receive unemployment. As a self-employed individual, this was the first time i have ever been able to claim unemployment.
On behalf of the working class, we did not choose this bullshit liberal sabotage plan to force shut downs on people. At no fault of our own, our businesses in an instant were destroyed. 15 years down the drain. Like hell i am going to go to work somewhere that i am forced to wear a mask all day or forced to take a vaccine. I paid my taxes every year and if the government forces me into unemployment, yes, for once, i am going to take it. They caused this. I paid into the system and they are going to compensate me one way or another for stealing my livelihood. In the meantime i am looking for employment but no, I am not going to wear a mask all day.
Lol I gaddA say, 95% of people on food stamps buy garbage food. That's why they are so far and have health problems. As for unemployment, take it and rebuild. We all pay into it . You earned it.
I'll add that garbage food is cheap and the easier option for feeding a low income or poor family.
Eating healthy is expensive. So it's easy to understand why and how low income and poor families fall into the trap of eating processed, sugary, refined and chemically enhanced food.
Monsanto's initial justification for their miserable existence was that they were filling a necessary gap in food shortages and hunger worldwide. I remember listening to a leftie friend trying to justify their existence and why they weren't the devil because they were solving global hunger.
Fun fact: there are surprising limitations on what you can buy with food stamps.
You can’t buy any prepared food, or hot food. Rotisserie chickens are not allowed. There are other weird exemptions. They basically try to force you to buy crap because that’s the only thing your food stamps work on/afford to feed you for a week.
As the volunteer office I once worked with used to say, you get better outcomes when you give people a hand up, not a handout.
Yes BUT... u can buy a cold chicken that was previously cooked... Cold prepared foods.. or a premad uncooked pizza and then have them cook it lol... NY is super weird on that crap
Hmmm. Have you been to WA state? 7-11 accepts EBT cards (hi-tech welfare). Rotisserie chickens, and all hot foods can be purchased with stamps. Leeches separate their booze and smokes for the 2nd "ring up" at the checkout
Have never been to WA. This is mostly my experience volunteering in the Northeast.
Well they could learn to cook.they have the time.
Entitlement mentality. I guess he was practicing living under the great reset. This thing isn’t over yet & many believe there will be food shortages. He may have regrets.
But people were getting fifty grand a year and they had the option of tax me now or tax me later in betting alot chose later This and the fact alot were NOT paying rent/mortgage payments cause they couldn't be evicted Around here Ohio there are jobs EVERYWHERE some really good jobs going begging No sympathy here
Yes, they paid way more than they should have with the federal. But I blame the government for that, not the people. Few would turn that down. I also blame the government for the rental forgiveness. Again, someone is about to lose their home. Who would turn that down? Totally the government's fault. They are sparing renters while screwing over landlords who have mortgages to pay. Again, it's not the little people to blame. Blame the corrupt government and corporations. People do what they need to in order to survive. It's the ones in power who are causing all of us to point the finger at each other when it is they who are pulling the strings.
I hear you but they had enough w 50000 grand a year also I an guilty I took the stimulus could have done without it
Very well said
Do you live in FL? We don't allow anyone working part time to receive unemployment, we pay a low unemployment amount (not sure if it's the lowest or not, but I know it was only $250/wk pre-COVID).
Yes. I received $125 per week because i was self-employed.
Pennies in comparison to what we’ve all paid out. Drain them dry!
The “system” you paid into??? We all paid into with our taxes… the money you are collecting is doing nothing more than running up the tab on our grandchildren’s debt and placing a bandaid on the situation. You nor any one else is “entitled” to a free ride …. There are no “free rides”, there will always be a cost to pay. Either you contribute to your own wealth, or you drain it from others. This includes positive energy, financial, health, spiritual. Be a fountain not a drain, dude.
Not a dude. And no, not everyone has paid into our system. If you live long enough, everyone has a time when they need help. That is one of the things our taxes are for. Unemployment. To call me a "drain" on our system is laughable. I have spent years doing volunteer work and not getting paid, so i hardly think i have an "entitled" attitude. When you make up a false pandemic to deliberately cripple the working man, and you want us to blame the working man for all of your woes and trouble? Yes, it is not the illegal immigrants, the banks, the crooked politicians - it is the every day working American who is the enemy. I just found out yesterday that i have cancer. Maybe soon you will be lucky and be able to rejoice that you have one less person breathing too much of your oxygen and draining your fountain. But you keep up that spiritual and positive energy that you displayed so eloquently.
Not a doctor, but please look into HCQ for your diagnosis. If not as a main treatment for it, at the very minimum as an addition to your treatment. Something that's inexpensive that you can get started on right away.
