Unfortunately most 1st-party Nintendo titles aren't included. I had been thinking of doing Yoshi's Crafted World.

But at least this is an opportunity for me to build up my PS5/4 collection.
Why are nintendo titles not included?

And why does it matter anyway. It was only 15 cases, soon to zero, and was totally eradicated by Easter.

I know people that got it that definitely made more than the salary cutoff
If its based on taxable income or adjusted gross income, maxing out pretax 401k, HSA, commuter benefits, etc could knock another $25,000 off their salary. Or other itemized deductions.

Its such a frivolous waste of taxpayer money to give handouts to people who didnt lose their jobs. Bernie cant retire from politics soon enough.

$600 is a joke to the people who lost their jobs in the spring and haven't worked since.
And theyre getting enhanced unemployment benefits that in many cases exceed their original wages, disincentivizing them to find another job. Its been a long taxpayer funded vacation for people abusing the system.

Opinion: New Years Eve/Day is the dumbest "holiday" on the calendar


Just because someone arbitrarily decided to cut off the year on a certain day doesnt mean anything has changed.

Its also not like C-19 will go away just because the calendar has a different number on it.

The better solution would have been to avoid this mass unemployment in the first place by putting in a better social safety net up front - a wage subsidy paid to all companies that lose a certain portion of revenue to last the duration of any period of relevant business restrictions, plus at least a few weeks beyond.
Its up to prudent business owners to set aside a rainy day fund for unforeseen economic shocks.

Are overly generous stimulus checks & UI benefits a disincentive to work?


The CARES Act paid a one time $1,200 stimulus check to most Americans and on top of that, $600/week in bonus unemployment insurance payments in addition to state level UI benefits. Some people were making more money playing video games & watching Netflix than they were earning at their former jobs.

Now the congresscritters want to do it again, except with $300 UI instead of $600. And while the stimulus checks aren't in the latest draft bill, progressives have been demanding their inclusion.

Do you think cash handouts from the government are good legislative policies that promote long term jobs & economic growth? Personally I do not, but am curious to hear different perspectives on the matter. Thank you.

Its only a hair above the 3,386 record from exactly 6 months ago, but it goes to show how quickly the economy has rebounded.

  • Consumer spending (retail sales) has surpassed February highs. Consumers drive two-thirds of the US economy.
  • The extremely accurate Atlanta GDP forecast is now forecasting growth of 26% annualized in the 3rd quarter, the best in nearly a century (source: frbatlanta.org)
  • Despite the headline unemployment rate of 10%, narrower measures of unemployment such as U1 that exclude temporary furloughs, are only around 5% (source: bls.gov)
  • Economists have regarded the post-financial meltdown recovery as the slowest ever from a modern recession. In contrast, economists have said the current recovery is thus far the fastest in US history. (source: brookings.edu)

This article from CNN explains the situation:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/24/politics/jobs-congress-unemployment-benefits-600-dollars/index.html

The Which Wich sandwich shop in Buford, Georgia ... wants to hire one or two more workers but is having a hard time finding takers for the positions, which pay between $8.50 and $10 an hour, said Zalak Thakkar, an investor in the shop. Those who send resumes, he said, don't answer follow-up calls.

"If the government is paying more to stay home, why would those people be out there risking their lives, number one, number two, staying away from their families and number three, making less money?" Thakkar said.

...

Republicans, however, are concerned that such generous payments may deter people from going back to their jobs, which would slow the economic recovery. They point to research, including a Congressional Budget Office estimate that found that five out of six recipients would receive more in unemployment benefits than from returning to work should the $600 benefit be extended through January.

People are committing fraud in order to remain on unemployment, including sending out resumes then not showing up to interviews, or making up bogus excuses to decline employment offers. Most states' unemployment laws require people receiving UI payouts to actively look for work every week, and accept any job that is offered to them - but due to the volume of applicants this has been hard to police.

Small business owners say they are having trouble convincing employees to come back or hiring new ones. Nearly one in five have had an employee decline a job offer because he or she wanted to remain on unemployment, according to a May survey by the National Federation of Independent Business Research Center.
...
Jobless Americans can't turn down positions and continue to collect unemployment benefits ... But employers say that this doesn't actually happen in practice. Some owners say they don't have time to report those who refuse to accept an offer

In my opinion, all cash handouts should be immediately terminated, and replaced by subsidized job training programs. The government can partner with bootcamps that teach in-demand IT skills, a sector that's seen robust hiring for work-from-home positions.
