    Oh thats perfect! I think we might take advantage of this one. Tired of watching people get over while seeing the wife have to risk it all in a mall through this whole thing.

    Wow, my part time job is in KY. Think about it, I could quit using the fear of Covid and make about 45,760.00 a year not working. I don't have to pay a house payment since they can't kick me out. INSANE!

    The scammers give the people who really need it a bad name. I think that is as big a crime as scamming the system.

    Duh, they could have saved a lot of money on that study, you have not have a head to figure that out.

    Interesting my wife and I just talked about the unemployment being paid if your afraid you will get Covid from your job. At 9 months unemployment my wife could just retire. With the additional Covid money she would make more for three months. Toss in another $2,800 with both of us getting the extra stimulus she can just breeze for a hole year making more than her job. Figure they might extend any of the benefits we can live better than when we where working. Crazy time. Who would work if your at least 60, maybe even younger.
    when you see this on the water stop and say hi.

    Wells of today you can quit your job out of fear of covid. You can collect 400.00 from feds and your state unemployment. So 900.00 to do nothing because you're scared you might get it. Will anyone be left to work?

    Let’s see.....that equals out to about $30 an hour pay for take home pay, not to bad to get that and go fishing all the time. Something to think about.

    Yeah this is the problem. It was already hard enough for the wife to hire a sales girl for 15hr to work. Qhy would most work? This is pretty crazy. The pipeline and its loss of jobs, the crude that won't flow through it will amp up gas prices. Is anyone paying attention? I mean seriously, I don't care who you voted for. This is crazy.

    I come up with 22.50 an hour at 900 a week. But, I 100% agree with the rest of your post.

    Think he said take home so at a tax rate of 25% it would be $30 an hour.

    Includes " spouses of undocumented immigrants who did not have Social Security numbers." So you could double your income as how do they know who you are?

    Most of the same people that stay home and collect free money because they are afraid of COVID will be out to eat, to the mall, out with friends etc.
