I work my job. I pay my taxes. I thankfully haven’t lost my job, but if I did I would expect the community that I have been funding to support me until I could find a new one.
How exactly does losing your job due to a global pandemic that was mismanaged by our leadership from day one and struggling to keep a roof over your head in the biggest economic collapse since the Great Depression make you lazy?
I love reading these comments about the riches of unemployment benefits. I have never collected personally but those that may need it now are entitled to it. I don’t think people are deliberately being lazy. I do think some though are smarter than others. Who would want to go enrich the likes of wmart stockholders at the risk of contracting covid19? I suspect those commenting on unemployment and the lazy folk are really punching downward. It really shows poor taste. Please wear a mask when you spew your opinions of nothingness.
“Nobody is stupid enough to get up and go to work if they make more money on unemployment and can loaf around all day doing things they enjoy”
Unemployment compensation in Florida is capped at $275.00 a week, no matter how much you made at your former job. The Federal supplement to that ran out July 31st. If you are receiving unemployment and do not actively look for another job, or turn down a reasonable offer of employment, or refuse to go back to work if you’ve been laid off and your employer calls you back to work, you lose those benefits. Did you know any of that before you made your comment?
bewildered,
I agree with you. Everywhere I drive I see help wanted /now hiring signs..
This includes home depot, walmart and many fast food restaurants.
But why would they want to wake up and go to work when they can
sit at home all day, watch tv and make more money from unemployment?
Useless undertaking. People don’t want to work, Nobody is stupid enough to get up and go to work if they make more money on unemployment and can loaf around all day doing things they enjoy,
