Hey idiots! What about an extra 600 a week for those of us who have kept working?

What extra expenses are the unemployed getting that we don’t?

Do you realize how nutsy your post sounds?

You appear to indicate that you are working, so I assume you still have an income.

What about the people who worked for small businesses that are now closed, people who held jobs, perhaps for many years, and were laid-off and can’t find a new job quickly?

You are exhibiting the callous thoughtlessness that many attribute to the President - while HE is exhibiting thoughtfulness and concern.

THIS

Food banks
Rent assistance
State food credits
Other programs

And their BASE is $15/hour. Are these $600 checks in addition to their normal unemployment?

It’s ok. Think of it as insurance. If you were not working you’d get the 600.
