The fact that 22 million people cannot survive a month without having to reach out for unemployment is indicative of how fragile things really are
Oh yeah, people always file for unemployment because they can't survive a month.

Not because it's something you pay for every time you get a paycheck. Why wouldn't you file for unemployment?

:hubie: I dont disagree one bit.

Personally I believe thats an illegal and authoritarian tax as are most taxes. You should be allowed to keep that money laws should be enforced to ensure than any company that has to rely on the big bad socialist government should have to split revenue in a fashion that post majority of the wages to the majority of the employees.

Employment should be a way of the system cycling money and keeping the wheels churning.

If people are not getting paid enough, people are not spending enough, people are not getting paid enough, people are not spending enough

wild 6 weeks can erase 11-12 years of gains.

while most people do need it, not everyone who files for unemployment does it because they have nothing saved. I’ve always been taught to file for unemployment whether you need it or not, you paid into it. Furthermore, for some, it might be just enough to not have them fully erode savings while looking for another gig.

But hopefully this is a V recession like they say, because no way the economy/people can wait until there’s a vaccine

The fact is that even at current levels of automation we have way more jobs than there is work to do. And I don't just mean for factory line workers I mean for middle managers and business developers and lawyers.

If it's not a industry that naturally mandates an upper limit on how many people can be serviced by a single person (healthcare, education, etc) then the chances are our broken capitalist system has bloated it with three people doing the work of one.

Your replies all imply M4A is the only solution, and that anyone not on board is evil, foolish or against saving lies... you’ve drunk too much of the Progressive mead.
:hhh:

My entire point is that the progressive agenda, whether you agree with it or not, is about to kill off a sector of the economy and leave millions jobless...
We have some rough years ahead:yeshrug:
You're so full of shyt

Ppl in America were going broke over medical Bill's before this
