3.3 MILLION FILED UNEMPLOYMENT (3/15-3/21) UPDATE: 6.9M FILED (3/22-3/28). U2: 6.6M FILED (3/29-4/4)

The economy completely crashing with everything being shut down would be wayyyyy more harmful and put millions of people out of a job more than it already is now. At some point, you will have to reopen things and that should be within the next month or two.

I agree and if people do what’s necessary especially those in positions of power than it may be possible in a couple of months, but right now that would be a very bad decision.

I can calculate it pretty easily. How much does unemployment pay per week in your state?

just looked it up..54-378 per week based on wages

I do think there is a better way to do this. Test the fukk out of everybody, isolate as necessary. Part of why we are going so far is because we have no idea how it's spreading. If we had a better handle on who was infected and recovered we could do things a lot more effectively and quickly. Probably not overwhelm the hospitals as much too. @Henry Broadnax is still an idiot though

Every time people have made obvious rebuttals to your points, you refuse to engage the rebuttals and post the same shyt you had already posted. You won't even quote the rebuttals or reply to their points in any way. And your point is so incredibly stupid, and so easily refuted, that it leads people to believe you are a troll. Since you have a long history are making points like this, we're coming to believe that you're a habitual troll.




They are perfect analogies with @Henry Broadnax's current argument. If they fail at some level he has to show that. So far his ONLY argument that he keeps repeating incessantly is that the flu had killed more Americans since October 2019. He ignores the precedent in Italy and Spain, he ignores American deaths from coronavirus only started a couple weeks ago, he ignores that 3/4 of the coronavirus deaths have come in the last 4 days and the daily death rate is accelerating rapidly.

If he has a better argument he should make it. Right now his argument is exactly as stupid as those analogous arguments would be.

No bc your analogies aren't grounded in substance.

So do you believe in false positives?

In Cali you get 1/2 of your rate from your highest paying quarter up to $450/week. So now with the extra $600/week boost you can get $1050/week. Plus the $1200 check. That means for that first month, folk who make all the way up to $32/hour would be getting their full pay for the month. After that it would just be folk who make up to $26/hour who would be getting full pay.

Props

Like what’s jobs won’t come back?

demand will be low for many industries for a while so even if some businesses open back up they wont be anywhere near 100% capacity. businesses hire based on need. Its a ripple effect. More unemployed means less disposable income. retail stores will consolidate and close locations and turn more to online(This was already happening now will be accelerated), many restaurants will close for good(always have been thin margin business to begin with), Air travel wont return to its levels for a longtime, hotels and travel industry related companies , cruiselines, anywhere dependent on large groups of people will have decreased attendance(movie theaters, themeparks, sports and concert venues etc.).

companies will also ramp up automation to be less reliant on workers so they wont be shut down and impacted again by human labor loss so easy.

This is key.

Good, I’m glad they are getting paid some money, it’s all panic for nothing until someone close to you gets it. If that happens, I hope it changes your perspective, I honestly do, but until then, why are you so against people that do see this as an actual threat to themselves or their loved ones? It’s appalling.

Because we did this in 2008 and nothing happened, it is just media hype. McDonald's and Burger King will go on, Netflix is still running....

So you're in Virginia then, right? Their table is a bit ridiculous, but long story short folk earning up to $24/hour in Virginia will be getting approximately full pay from unemployment.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

Yep, some of them were in here telling people to stay inside. Here is the aftermath

if im not mistaken it was their job that told them too, then a week later gave them notification since no one is going outside
