The Dem already voted on Hero Act to renew and add other stuff like Student Loans.

The problem with these govt payouts is that nobody will stay bought. The amount of free money is not the only problem, just get as much as possible. Pay me or I vote for the communist party democrats who will have me working for free. Pay me or not, I will vote for the brain impaired communist democrat party presidential candidate, Joe Biden. No winner for Trump in either case. Pres Trump will do what is right in so far as he can. Disincentives that keep workers from returning to the workforce help to continue the China virus shutdowns. If the Pres has to concede to various things he would rather not, a short term solution to a current issue will be made. The political situation is what it is and that fact will determine the viability of what must be done to hold this Republic together.

Yes the “hybrid” model is better than nothing—at least gets feet on the classroom floor.

However that way the kids will mix with their classmates 2 days and then will mix with different kids in their daycares the other 3 days.

So even more contacts. Still, it’s easier to keep those contacts further apart than 5 day in person.

It will help to change the dynamic where a lot of people seem content to sit home ordering takeout, streaming Netflix and letting governors keep things shut down. Once work becomes a priority the heat on those govs will start getting cranked-up.

I wonder if the gig economy and numerous side hustles continue on, along w/the stimulus/unemployment payments?

Affiliate programs, blog-centered small businesses,eggs & produce at a Farmers Market, dog-walking, baby-sitting, house-sitting....I think it is difficult to track a varied income stream with many payments in cash and/or only small payments via PayPal or Square or whatever.

I retired in March and spent 3 months moving. Once we were moved into the house (I’ll not detail DH’s shop, which will take another 2 months), I needed things to do. So, I’m *working* again and will be returning to some form of retail by next Spring, if only to recoup the cost of materials and to move my product out of the limited space we now have.

It’s difficult to do nothing if you’ve spent 62 years working. Although, it is nice to not have deadlines, accounts or customers. I’m *working*, but at my own pace toward my own ends.

The Clintons are looking for someone to get hired at the prison. 1 million dollar bonus if you can get a small project done for them.

Watch the market. This was a back end to pay off the banking MBS and CDOs, and the insurance piggybacking. Mortgages, insurance on same said real estate, govt. real estate taxes

Isn’t the $600 per week in ADDITION to the regularly-calculated benefits? The intent, we were told, was to keep the laid off employee at the same income level, but a “drafting error” didn’t cap the benefit at salary level. The pubbies “discovered” the error after passing the bill, but didn’t get it corrected.

My daughter received regular unemployment, then subsequently $1200 for the two weeks she was laid off.

No more free money to buy batteries, and make molotov cocktails to throw at the police.

I hope all those receiving that money know it was the democrat party behind you losing your job and forcing you to wear a mask and closing thousands and thousands of business’s and supporting terrorists here at home and overseas.

Vote for Donald Trump and every republican you can.
