I just can't see how Republicans win re-election if they get rid of the boost. Though, anecdotally, my two cousins (one is a bartender in North Carolina and one in PA where I live). I was drinking with them some two nights ago. And my cousin from PA was talking about how much money he had and shit, and I was like you know after July you aren't gonna have that right unless it is extended? He couldn't seem to process that. Kept saying they would extend it. Then my other cousin from North Carolina got a text from his boss saying they are reopening Friday (today) and he needed to know if he could come to work. My cousin was like fuck that I ain't going back to work for $200 a week when I'm making way more than that now. The boss texted back not even like 10 minutes later and was like, "I'll give you to 10pm to respond, remember if you refuse to come back you are going to lose your unemployment.". My cousin was so upset that he ended up leaving and not even hanging out with us more than 40 minutes. Says he still isn't going back to work though. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Spider-Man (PS4), Quantum Break (X1) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
