A mind-boggling 30 million people have filed for unemployment in 6 weeks.

[teecee]

Why is it mindboggling? They fukkin shut a ton of shit down. What did we honestly think this would look like?

[teecee]

LOL...says the guy who takes advantage of the poor with his payday loan business. Get out of here.

Yeah, I hate that he puts a gun to their heads and forces them to take his loans.

30 million out of work and all for a big nothingburger.

One side wants to go to work, and one side wants to keep staying at home bitching about the other side that wants to work.

Which side are you guys on?

I make get more money now than I was getting working 60 hours a week. I'd rather get back to work because that seems more sustainable.

It's a tough time for everyone but the rich. This will continue into the winter.

One problem with this theory. Many large companies including state government, city government, county government, etc. want their employees on unemployment right now and probably the distant future. They have to pay a ton less to cover the unemployment than they do if they were “employed” and they had to cover their entire paycheck. Even if companies open back up they aren’t going to be making the money they were before this immediately so they won’t want everyone back right away. That’s why you’re hearing about government agencies and companies sending mass emails to offer voluntary unemployment to people. Many people are/will take this option as they will make more money than they do and still technically be employed by the company. Tricky thing is and is yet to be seen is if the government agencies and companies actually end up taking the people back after their voluntary unemployment is up. I’d recommend not being one of the people to volunteer to do this, once they see they can operate without you they might not bring you back.

Why the fukk should you get paid for voluntarily becoming unemployed? That sounds like the dumbest policy ever.

Lol I love liberals trying to dog trump on jobs numbers when something the world has never seen hits and shuts the entire world down. Most will go right back to work only entertainment and service industries will be most effected.

Number may increase as gig workers in many states haven't applied or gotten anything from UI or PUA..

Liberals love what Trump has done to employment in this country. It's the rest of us that don't like it.

someone filed for unemployment with my info... or some of it

they didn't get shit because I use credit monitoring services ever since that EquiFUax disaster in 2017...

filed police report in their jurisdiction... hope they get jail time

Police won’t bother. The unemployment claim will get denied but nothing else will happen. That report will get buried at the bottom

they wouldn't of made a report for it in the first place if they didn't care so not entirely true

Sucks but if the pigs waste time on it, I’d be shocked.

I provide a service and a way for these circumstances to be resolved in my communities.

Predatory lenders are scum and deserve bullets in head.

true but if trump wasn’t president he would spend all day tweeting how the administration didn’t know what they were doing and trying to get govt bailout for his hotels.

USA is a service based economy. Most won’t go back to work because many jobs will be eliminated due to dip in economy. A shitty businessman like Trump is not who we need leading an economy. Looking for loopholes to not pay your debts isn’t smart business, it is being a crook.

I’m not doin shit and making about 1k a week, works for me.
