Lay me off?

[Jumpin Jack Flash]

I dislike Trump as much as the next guy, but he can only veto, so this is firmly Congress' fault. They should have just given everyone $2k/month universally until this is over, which would have been simpler, faster, and cost about the same.

That’s why the President uses a veto, so he’s not to blame.

Hit the dock a little harder

Roger. Get ready. I'm backing this thing up like I stole it....or its Friday whichever works better for you.

 

[DOK]

If UPS lays me off as a part timer I lose my 20 hrs week at $ 21.26 hr for a total of $ 425. If I go on unemployment in Illinois I'll get 47% of my pay plus $600. 47% =$199 + 600 =$799 or $377 more a week. Ups lay me off? I would much rather work but wtf.

What’s the plus “$600” from?

If this "outbreak" doesn't let those who live paycheck to paycheck take stock of their situation then there is no hope for them in that regard.

The stimulus bill they just passed throws an extra 600 at anybody on unemployment.

They're not going to. They'll lay off drivers first, encouraging them to bump you.

You to far up on seniority list it would probably be like 5 or 10 percent of every classification. With all the people taking vacation and taking off seems like no layoffs unless they shut down Macy's Com lands end. People ordering tons of nonessential while at home this is no shut down. Fast food is not essential

I want you to know I ain't homosexual or nothing. Just been on the road a long time.

 

[cachmeifucan]

...and been patently unfair to those who have lost their livelihoods through no fault of their own...

Uber/Lyft drivers, restaurant workers, hospitality workers, etc., have been unfairly displaced as a result of this crisis.

$2K/month for someone who is still working and has not been adversely affected by this crisis would be unfair to those who are sitting at home through no fault of their own and trying to figure out how they are going to pay their rent on the 1st of the month.

Not true I'm still working and the price of food is way up so I'm still being affected. I just bought 7 dollar hand sanitizer for work

Oh me neither. Just two guys just doing what guys do. No need to label it.

If your head isn't banging against the bulkhead you didn't back up fast enough.

Fast food is essential to the essential people who are working, truck drivers, nurses, doctors, etc.

In many cases, the landlord may have just a handful of units and is relying on the collected rents to pay his mortgage.

Hell, freeze mortgages, too.
And the idea of getting a (high) percentage of your paycheck instead of a handout for unemployment is probably better to actually help people, I think. But if the point is to protect the economy--and that's really all the state cares about--people need cash and they need it immediately and universally.

Im hoping to get laid in the near future

I'm confident it will happen for you one day, real soon.
