People still working normal hours aren't getting hazard pay. They're still struggling to get by.

I don't understand why Americans are so afraid to demand more from their governments but instead would rather shit on people that are under the same situation as them.

Because, being a capitalist country, the majority of Americans have had their thinking successfully subverted into patterns that ultimately harm themselves and benefit corporations.

Mark my post if you guys want but this will just confirm that the truth hurts.

tl;dr go to the last paragraph to everyone else who hates hearing the truth and being called out read the post and deal with it.

To those of you serious about this topic, let's get this shit straight I'm sure I speak for everyone who is still working like me.

Those of you not working is your fault for not getting/having a job that is essential. Your not fucking important deal with it. Do something else with your life and be useful to society. I'm not a medic but I work construction if it matters to any of you. You not being important falls on you. You want a fucking job that is always hiring and that will never end with good pay go work at a morgue or anything dealing with dead people.

You guys don't pay attention at all or watch the news. The money given was to help with essentials and help restore and save the economy. To those not working use it to pay bills. To those working we are fortunate because it's our job to waste the money buying things not being bought to help companies and the economy, go buy a TV, laptop, clothes, etc....with your money because not many people are buying any of these things and we need to buy these things in order to help others get back to work, supply and demand.

Those of you not working is your fault for not getting/having a job that is essential. Your not fucking important deal with it.

See the thing is bro I know 4-5 places that are hiring off the top of my head. And that is in a fairly small city.

The 3 people I cited earlier who are making damn near double what they were on unemployment aren't going to go work at those places because it would result in less income, and I don't blame them.

BUT every week when they claim unemployment they have to lie and say the sought employment and failed to find a job.

It is almost like the powers that be want the economy to crash and burn. It makes sense because that would be the easiest way to create a completely socialist government. Hence why the leftists want everything to stay closed, the government to print more money that we don't have, and incentive NOT to find a job.

Fear and uncertainty are the best political tools and right now that shit is getting milked bone dry for a virus with less than a 1% death rate.

You fuckers got to sit in your house to protect grandma for 2 months. Time to get shit back at least half rolling and see where that gets us or just prepare for all of us except for mega rich to be lining up in those food banks in about a year.

This is also true I got a friend who has been lying his ass to get some unemployment money he can easily get a job but he's being lazy and irresponsible as you've said.

It's not fair that healthcare workers can't get any compensation because we make too much when we're on the front lines dying to COVID. Meanwhile, people who don't even need the money are getting it to do stupid shit.

How much in your state? Looks like he's in NY by his signature and $504 is one of the lowest around in the immediate area. NJ, CT and MA are way more.

There is an income limit though. It doesn't really matter how the fuck you get to that limit within a year. If you're not working and make $150k doesn't mean your deserve it more than some person working right now making $30k.

I do agree that essential workers are 100% getting shafted. They deserve more.

Also the FPUC $600 is only till July 31. Not that bad considering that's probably the best time to return.

The majority of blue collar or service industry workers have been getting shafted for decades, it's only now that the ones deemed essential are getting a half-hearted pat on the back in the form of "we support you" ads by the very industries that don't want to pay them more

Being that you have asthma, they couldn't reassign you to a duty where you're not in direct contact with civilians? I don't really have any risk factors, but I'd be scared if I had a chronic respiratory issue lol.
