Same.

I won't see a dime but I'm "furloughed"...after I personally laid off 60+ humans with families and rent etc. They should qualify, I pray they do.

Me? I can hold my own, but many of my wonderful folks live tip out to tip out...

$1200 is great, that'll help for service industry folks for a week. However its not going to even slow the wave of economic depression impact that we're going to see.

They also get the extra 600 bones a week in unemployment benefits. I'm sure most of your 60+ humans qualify. That's 1100 a week in unemployment if they qualify for max benies....which they likely do. I'm more worried that when things ramp back up, there will be a lot of workers a little less than eager to go back to the job. Some people are going to be paid more to stay home.....that will have an economic depression impact

1100 a week? The max is 600 that they can get.

Normally this would bother me but since the government put them out of work and wont let them return to work then why the hell not.

I'll bet when taxes roll around next year they take the 1200 back.

I've never understood the "you can't raise a family on minimum wage" argument.

Minimum wage was never intended and shouldn't be something that you raise a family on. It's unskilled labor/work for kids and people just starting out. If you are a kid and/or are just starting out, DON'T BREED. If you have 5-10 years of experience in any industry, you shouldn't be making minimum wage and if you are then you need to look inside and not to the government to save you. Of course, there are extraneous circumstances, but on the whole I this is a total BS "argument".
