More than 7 million out-of-work Americans are poised to lose all of their unemployment benefits this week as three federal programs put in place in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic expired on Monday.

In addition to the 7.5 million workers who face the loss of all unemployment benefits on Labor Day, another 3 million stand to lose the extra $300 boost to their state jobless aid, according to a recent report published by the left-leaning Century Foundation.

Covid didn’t crush the economy.

Government did.

Those still taking benefits better get a job now while good job offers can be found.

The gravy train cometh and the gravy train derails. On labor day no less. Oh the irony...

How many of the small business jobs shut down because of the COVID lockdown orders have not come back (and may not come back)?

$455 a week to do nothing. That’s about $17 an hour 30 hours a week.

Yep washing dishes sounds so much better.

Whoa, and when I get the paper
I read it through and through
And my girl never fails to say
If there is any work for me

And then I go back to the house
Hear the woman’s mouth
(Preaching and a-crying
Tell me that I’m lying about a job
That I never could find)

I’ve had the misfortune of a couple bouts of long term unemployment during actual recessions. I busted my butt to do anything to earn money. Sitting around on that same butt wasn’t an option.

Get a job.

Freeloaders who didn’t bother paying rent. Guess what? It’s all due today. Time for a first, second and third job.

Time to cut back on the bong usage
...and do some laboring.

“For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,

nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to follow.

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”

We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies.

Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat.

And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is right.

If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of him. Do not associate with him, in order that he may feel ashamed.

Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.”

2 Thessalonians 3

During my work career I had a side hustle and sometimes 2 side hustles all the way.

As my dear Mother always said, “you help people who can’t help themselves, not people who won’t help themselves”.

As true today as when she first told me that 60 years ago.
