the real problem is that extra $600 to the unemployed, Thats essential $15 an hr to do nothing. Add on whatever your original benefits are and it makes zero sense to look for a job, Normally nikkas would jump at at $18 hr job at AMAZOn or whoever but it ain't worth it when you can make more staying home.Yup go work at Walmart and be living in your car in the parking lot
breh i read somewhere the other day that Florida has processed just 4% of it's unemployment claims
I live in Portland and filed a claim wayyyy back on March 20th and still ain't seen no loot. People are calling the phone number and getting nothing but a busy signal, and this is even with auto redialer apps
maybe, just maybe the system is functioning just the way they intended it to
compare and contrast how fast people's UI claims are going through and being processed vs how quick people got those stimulus checks. There may be a bigger gambit at play here
...breh
You did hear about this virus passing through the air, right? Its not like people are passing up work out of sheer laziness.There is a difference though between The Great Depression and now: people don’t want to work.
At least here in San Diego, every store I go to is hiring. Target, Wal Mart, Supermarket, gas stations, there is opportunity to work.
Also, of those jobless, some are creating income without a specific company (Lyft/Uber, doordash, shypt, grub hub) etc.
I’m not saying it’s not bad, because I understand a middle manager not wanting to go be a stock boy, but it’s different
No, they won't. As with anything there will always be people doing what they do, but enough to jumpstart the economy. fucck no. Plus you have to remember a lot of places hired alot of new people to meet new demands, when the demand stops those people will be unemployed too. Then the ones they keep will see significant reduction in hrs which will basically make them "unemployed".
this is trump and his admin bruh, this shouldn't be surprising
I feel like consumerism is the real culprit,I've been railing against this system for some time but even I'mat how quickly it collapsed. It was only a few months ago that people were celebrating this economic system around here, but of course now that the same system is ready to throw their ass in the fire well THAT IS TOO FAR.
I guess they haven't been paying attention. The reason why the virus has us on the ropes is because......capitalism. But fret not Coli Capitalists Coalition, the system WILL ALWAYS survive, you just might have to die first.
This was a bubble waiting to burst. Decades of incompetent leadership. Gutted programs due to said leadership. Wages lagging woefully behind inflation. Zero financial literacy amongst most of the population. System being held together by low wage workers. COVID-19 was the perfect storm. Just look at the epic collapse of the greatest economy the world has ever known. Took just a few weeks to topple this goliath.
To be honest, the whole system is rotten and needs to be uprooted and rebuilt
Who gave them a pass?
You'll see when the economy is still in the shytter and furloughed workers become really unemployed.
