How soon until the government counts “receiving unemployment checks” as working at a job for their statistical reports? Could someone explain how well the various generational-theft stimulus plans are working?

To: hal ogen

From my personal experience as a small businessman and owner of a plumbing company. We are off 63% over last year for gross sales.

As a direct result of this sour business climate I have had to cut cost, layoff and cross utilize workers. Thank God I’m not a union shop.

It’s still painful to let a worker go. I’m a worker too, and close to the chopping block. After 21 years in business I’m fighting to keep it afloat.

I was hoping to retire in the next couple years and turning this over to my top guy. Looks doubtful, maybe things will pick up after November.
