It will be way up when people get done working through shutdowns, leave pay, etc. There are restaurants closing every day, more than there were last week. If the bonus becomes law there are a ton of hourly workers who will be begging for a lay-off.
I talked to a guy this morning who makes $400/week. Laid off, he would get $900. He is waiting for the final signature to plead with his boss to be sent home for the summer. And he will be, as a favor to a 15-year employee.

400 bucks a week? Where does he work, on a plantation?

30 hours/week in a wood shop, running machines.
This is the UP. Any job where you’re not working for muskrat pelts is high society.
I hired a journeyman plumber for $25/hour last year. I had to talk him into taking a tip.

Well the job loss figures didnt offset the friggin BS bailout. Dow rising again. If that doesnt show what is wrong with this stupid country I dont know what does.

It is going to be great though when this stimulus deal does nothing to prevent total meltdown just like every other stimulus deal the GOP does. Then they will still rail against socialism cause god forbid we actually help people...only businesses truly need out help.

At this point when the Dow goes up you know you've just been screwed.

We need to start putting our money somewhere else (e.g., bonds, real estate). Once we sever the chokehold they have on us through our 401(k)s we can burn them to the ground.

They aren't the economy; they're a casino where either they win or we lose.

With the new glut of cash going out soon the heist is rising to 24 trillion dollars. Just imagine the preparedness and readiness we could have had for the next pandemic (this one) with that kind of cash.

Conservatives wanted smaller government.

You mean like how Minnesota has plenty of money to deal with this because we have Dem Governors who prepare?

Oh, they love themselves some big government when it comes to Vagina's and the Southern Border. Then, the bigger the better.

We do live in the correct state. If our state was in a country that wasn't so ****ed up we'd be in even better shape.

Why, that's almost Green New Deal money.

Has anyone in the admin bothered trying to justify Mnuchin, I mean Jared, I mean the US taxpayers are taking ownership of airlines? Wouldn’t this normally have been a loan? Frickin oligarchs

I'm good with them getting money on the condition that if they are headquartered in the US, they incorporate in the US, and their ships are registered in the US.

Why should we bail them out if they don't pay taxes?
