> Not fixed. The pandemonium this will create for small business is immeasurable.
The theory expressed by (R) senators is that it’s not perfect but that it is expected that most people would prefer real work over quitting for a relatively short term modest pay raise.
one thing i would like to know is what will happen to the trump hotel chain business. marriott business is reportedly down 75% or maybe even 90%, i forget which.
i imagine trump hotel business would be affected the same if not worse since the trump brand is high end so people in a mood to save money can always choose a cheaper hotel. that means that the entire trump organization is left to hang, and they are already burning precious capital if they have not already started laying off much of their work force. if i were in charge of the trump properties, i would file an immediate lawsuit once the bill is signed. the covid-19 emergency is not trump’s employees fault no more than it is the fault of any other USA hotel employee who is expected to get a break from this bill.

Apparently, not many hve been on unemployment in the past years.
IF YOU QUIT a job-—you do NOT get unemployment-—except in very unusual cases.
So—IF you QUIT, thinking that you will make more money than your regular net paycheck, you are wrong.
This is for UP To 4 months....which means that if the virus problems decline enough for businesses to be allowed to re-open, then that UNEMPLOYMENT pay stops & you get your regular paycheck.
Other provisions: Small business will be given bridge loans to help them stay open, and IF they do not put their employees on unemployment, those loans will be forgiven in the future.
That gets a bit tricky when Governors & Mayors are hitting some businesses and not others.
UNCLEAR how self-employed persons fit into all of this.
But—remember-—QUITTING means no unemployment.
