Why is their so much hate for people who pay a ton in taxes and are still shut down by the governor getting an abysmal $222 a week unemployment? Not everyone is a minimum wage loser or refusing to work. Very few places are more than 50% capacity.


You're giving a lot of people too much credit. Some people are just lazy leeches and this has been like hitting the lottery for them. A girl I worked with asked to get laid off so she 'could get unemployment like everyone else on her street' She straight up said by not laying her off and making her quit or get fired that I was 'not letting her get government assistance.' Instead of giving her an opportunity to stay off gov't assistance, I was robbing her of it.

Think about that mindset. She's since been laid off but I don' feel like getting into that nonsense on here.

They don’t have enough staff right now to call the almost 400,000 on unemployment to see why the hell they're not working.

So, now they’re magically going to make over a million calls a week (3 per person) to see if Pookie and Tyrell filled out applications? They’re gonna call Walmart and Target for the 25,000 people who lie and put them down as their searches for the week? Sure.

I hope congress does not pass adding extra money to unemployment unless they give extra to people with SS.

They must think people are really stupid to believe this is even feasible.

If someone files for unemployment on Sunday (a closed day for most businesses), they get paid by 1 am Tuesday. No way is the unemployment office going to be able to make 300,000 calls to verify job searches during the day on Monday.

Okay, maybe I wasn't clear.

I don't think the job search requirements should have been suspended.

It’d be great if you low life’s found a job. Quit being lazy. Go do work you that you’re over qualified for or think you’re above. Americans are entitled pussies sometimes. There’s plenty of jobs out there. May not be the one you want but for fricks sake quit sinking our economy by taking benefits.

They need to give the money to the people working. Reward the non lazy assholes. Stimulus was the worst they they could have done for the economy long term. Short term great idea. But let’s have able people sit at home for 6 months making $8k.

How are you supposed to find a job if the entire market is fricked for your occupation. Are bartenders supposed to just go homeless because some people are scared?

I'll be okay. If I really get desperate, the post office is hiring.

I'd probably give trade school a thought before that, though.




I used to do a friend of mine's taxes because he was too lazy to do them. He was a mail carrier making over 80K with overtime.

Taxing unemployment benefits is beyond stupid




You don't have to have taxes taken out of UI weekly payments.

Louisiana used to be $297? per week until Booby Jindal decreased the benefit amount to $247. Federal UI benefits are higher than SS or SSD benefits.

I don't know how "they" expect anyone to live on what is allowed.

They will wait four weeks to do it. People will be over this if they have a brain.

That was clear. How are the issues I and others brought up not all an inevitable consequence of having a job search requirement?


You're supposed to apply for jobs that match your experience and skills.

You don't just apply for shite jobs to meet your work search requirement.
