And you expect me, as a small business owner, to be able to compete with that?
People that don't own businesses have no clue about labor costs.


they view you as an exploiter. they hate you.

they were taught by the Louisiana public school system that you steal from the poor

In Washington State, Max UI right now is roughly $1,400 a week. That's probably more than half the people posting here bring home in a week.

OT lounge doesn't understand labor costs.

they think the average business owner is making bank.

these are posters who were brainwashed in Louisiana public school systems to hate business owners.

If employers prove that their job is back open and they refuse that $600 goes away.




I agree, but that bolded part is whats going to prove difficult.

They'll end up paying them until proven otherwise and it's fed money, not the busineesses paying that bonus so it'll get lost in hub bub of everyone getting back to work.

Each unemployment insurance claim is currently evaluated on an individual basis. However, because of the COVID-19 emergency, the following are reasons benefits would be granted if the individual refused suitable work.

Valid Reasons for Refusal
At High Risk: People 65 years or older are at a higher risk for getting very sick from COVID-19.

Household member at high risk: People 65 years or older are at a higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19.

Diagnosed with COVID: The individual has tested positive for COVID-19 by a source authorized by the State of Texas and is not recovered.

Family member with COVID: Anybody in the household has tested positive for COVID-19 by a source authorized by the State of Texas and is not recovered and 14 days have not yet passed.

Quarantined: Individual is currently in 14-day quarantine due to close contact exposure to COVID-19.

Child care: Child’s school or daycare closed and no alternatives are available.

That's currently standard policy, but is being more scrutinized as things open up. Refusal to work issues are now w being investigated instead of just cleared.

Correct. If you are on unemployment, you have to report that you are willing to work if a job presents itself.

If anything, it shows how poorly paid the majority of America is. I recently saw an article in Forbes that stated that "low income" is anyone that is paid less than 847 a week. I tend to agree-- housing and other costs of living are going up faster than wages are.



This is true, but raising wages isn't going to lower the cost of any business.

I saw my friend post their childhood house their parents were selling and they wanted $460k for it. So I did some looking and looked at our old house in the area.

My parents bought our house in 1995 for $137k. The last person to buy it paid $444k in 2015.

Like wtf?

That’s the problem employers are not able to hire because the potential hiree they seek, would rather collect unemployment.


But is this really the case? Why would I risk the longterm security of having a job (if I was guaranteed to be brought back) by refusing to return in order to collect a few more weeks of more money, but no further financial security going forward?

The bottom 30% in America jump jobs like some people change underwear. They don't give a shite about long term stability.

What’s most disturbing is learning how many hopelessly broke dicks there are in Louisiana. It’s Only $600/wk for 12 weeks. You’d think the OT got excluded from the group after their office pool won the Powerball jackpot.


As a single male, I could get by just fine on $600/wk. I've done it with less when I first started working full time.

Yeah I might get to go to only 1-2 LSU games instead of all of them. But you know, priorities.

What’s public school have to do with this? I graduated public school as a valedictorian and went on to graduate from Loyola on a full scholarship and have been very successful. I know tons of public school graduates who are also very successful financially and just as many idiot private school graduates.

That moron is the one who pays his/her employees so low that unemployment is more lucrative.
Probably the same set of morons whose business is more lucrative under taxpayer subsidy than when operating.

Well I paid in an average of about 7000 dollars a year for 44 years. I think I will take me a lot longer than 5 years to get that back, much less with interest.
