I’m sure majority of people would rather the economy be re-opened but that’s not feasible right now and you should know that.
A $1200 check isn’t going to do anything really, but re-opening the economy can be wayyy more harmful.

Who is ineligible for UI?
I agree. The lockdown should end in May then the economy should be reopened. The economy crashing is worse than the coronavirus.
I know in New York state you have to be at a job for 6 months to get it.
During the Depression the social safety net was far worse and people remained unemployed for far longer, yet home invasion murders hardly happened at all. In fact, crime in the USA hasn't generally tracked with hard times at all.
Do hard times spark more crime?
I've grown up my entire life around guns and I am quite proficient, I also read self-defense lit extensively on both sides. An untrained family having a gun in their homes is far more likely to cause a death in the family than it is to save a life in the family. Especially in a time like this when suicides will be a far more common occurrence than home invasion murders.
why are you talkin to me about China, when that posts is giving you numbers, directly from the CDC, AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION DISCUSSING THE VIRUS IN AMERICA, and literally says from 2019 to march 25?YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ITALY, CHINA SPAIN, HOW MANY OTHER COUNTRIES ARE YOU GOING TO NAME?
Im Talking USA.
So you are saying we should let it rock, but you keep trying to check my intelligence. I got no beef with you, but you fukking suck at discourse.
Hopefully it'll sink in, or you can get somebody to explain the numbers to you
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.
The politicians know it even if they won’t admit it. It’s just not feasible to shut the whole economy down long term. Even state governors and city mayors know it, but they are more concerned with using this situation for political gain and aspirations.

I thought that was the norm nationwide....that was the norm when I was collected UI way back in the day..my current home state got hit BAD...got damn 300,000+
The economy needs to reopen, maybe around May. Mass unemployment and the economy crashing will lead to more misery than the coronaovirus.
The bill expands unemployment eligibility. Gig economy workers, freelancers, contractors, self-employed, etc. are all eligible now. I wouldn't be surprised if eligibility was expanded in other ways as well.
Plus, as low as unemployment has been recently the # of workers who would have joined in the last six months would be lower than usual.
I rock with you too, that's why I'm not trolling like you know I could
full salaries???
What bill you looking at?
Wasn’t the whole issue of the hold up of the bill was because unemployment insurance was going to pay people more money being on UI then they would of had they been working?
Telling people in FAMILIES who don't have guns to buy them for self-defense at a time when they can't even get training is a horrible fukking idea. Especially at a time when temptation for suicide is up. Far far more likely that someone in the family would hurt themselves in an accident, use the gun to off themselves, escalate a situation that wasn't going to be fatal, or hurt an innocent person just looking for help than they are to actually successfully defend their life with a brand new gun.
but sadly this will happen. people will tool up.
At this point you have to be an agent trolling. You literally replaced my shyt sonning you with your own post.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ITALY, CHINA SPAIN, HOW MANY OTHER COUNTRIES ARE YOU GOING TO NAME?
Im Talking USA.
The first coronavirus death in the USA was in March, not 2019. 3/4 of the 1000+ coronavirus deaths so far have come in the last 4 days and it is increasing exponentially. Anyone who is not a fukking idiot can see what is happening in Spain and Italy and project how that could look for us.
This is right in line with your usual posting. You are either an agent, a troll, or a tool of them.
