We are still suffering. Our entire industry has been levelled. No—not professional sports, buy the fairs and festival industry. We will not be able to work until maybe next year. the $600/wk plus $167 from the state is something—but barely covers anything that we would make normally. Starvation wages practically-—and we get just two more weeks of the $600 bucks, because it was only for 16 weeks.
The $167/wk ends December 1st. I still have four months to live until we can drive a 700 miles and hope our first event in Henderson, NV will open. Fuel costs themselves will be around a grand just for two vehicles.
Yeah—like this money is keeping me from going to work?
The 600 keeps going til the end of July. Will be renewed at some level.
Do something else beside moaning about your industry, the carny con.
Get a lawn mover and compete with illegals.
There are jobs, go and get one, and yes, the $600 a week is keeping you from going to work.
If all you got was $167 a week from your state, I guarantee you that you'd be out humping the streets for a job.
Right now, you are just bitching because your industry isn't something that is required, but while you are moaning, you are still taking the $600/week.
You should be a small kahuna and go and get a damn job, quit your whining.
