Haha yup.
Hadn’t heard that one in a minute.
Like most of my better posting here, it appears I was shamelessly plagiarizing the wise and stylish Alan Jackson.

the whole fucking point was to give people money so they’d spend it so shit didn’t crash harder. That nominally worked. That the fucking brain trust here can’t figure that out is unsurprising.
i see we are reacting 2010 where the outrage over giving a poor person $600 is orders or magnitude larger than giv8ng a businessman $6 million. Typical dumbfuckery

Thread drift, but if you are getting the $600 plus UI, and not having taxes deducted before payment, you might be an idiot.

So what in the fuck do you think is going to happen when the tab comes due. CRASH!!! I am far from the typical dentists on this site and work hard for my money and it must be easy for you to cast stones from your ivory tower. That said, its pretty fucking stupid to give away money without regard to how or who will pay. I'm no economist but really???? I really wish people would really get over thinking rich people will bail us out, it's not going to happen.

We're also in the same boat.
Went through a fuckload of crap to apply for PPP, and SPECIFICALLY asked each employee if they wanted to come back.
They all said yes please and thank you.
It was before they or I knew about the $600.
Now some are pissed at me and my partner for including them. Heard one woman's husband in the background when we told her we got PPP and she was coming back:
"Fuck those assholes screwing us out of our money!"
We did PPP for the employees. Before we got it, we cut our staff in half and took some big paycuts to make our numbers work. We had half the staff with enough work to do and revenue to cover it. Now we have pissed off employees who aren't busy. Not great for the company.
WTF. Sucks.
My personal opinion: Unemployment was like 60% of your pay. Raise it to 80 or 90% or extend the weeks, or give people healthcare, or whatever. Don't pay them more not to work.NYSB: NYSkiBlog.com

The short of it is...if they refuse work from you they are no longer entitled to collect unemployment benefits.
When someone fills out the weekly or bi-weekly unemployment claim there is a question that asks "have you refused any work?" Now I have never refused a job but isn't is safe to assume that if you refuse a job you are no longer qualified to collect unemployment???
I have not seen a COVID -19 befit claim questionnaire. This is based upon my experience filing in various states in the last 20 years. I find it very unlikely that the eligibility requirements have changed.A woman reported to police at 6:30 p.m. that she was being "smart-mouthed."

At least one in three can’t make their rent, millions more can’t afford groceries, and workers in supermarkets, medical clinics, warehouses, and other professions are now in a macabre race to see if they’ll turn blue and die before corporate employers decide to slash their salaries or retirement benefits — which has already happened to front-line caregivers in some cities.
There are no projections of record earnings in the futures of such people. The best case is survival, and the grim reality of diminished economic horizons. Yet for the tiny sliver of people whose fortunes depend not on salaries, tips, and commissions, but upon the prices of financial products like stocks and bonds, the coronavirus response heralds a brave new world.
The $2.3 trillion CARES Act, the Donald Trump-led rescue package signed into law on March 27th, is a radical rethink of American capitalism. It retains all the cruelties of the free market for those who live and work in the real world, but turns the paper economy into a state protectorate, surrounded by a kind of Trumpian Money Wall that is designed to keep the investor class safe from fear of loss.
This financial economy is a fantasy casino, where the winnings are real but free chips cover the losses. For a rarefied segment of society, failure is being written out of the capitalist bargain.

What fucking healing? Our fed is incompetent and there are no service jobs or other "hard worker" jobs to be had. Either Republicans stop jerking off over conspiracy theories and start to use their wherewithal to contain Covid and help things reopen or you need to pay people to sit at home.

^ precisely. people are pissed about giving someone who has lost a job getting $600 to pay bills for a defined period of time but no one says anything about the president's administration giving $700M to a trucking company that was sued for ripping off the federal govt?

The goal is to dump money to keep people in food/rent etc. Until the currently unavailable jobs (waiters, retail etc) are available again and their normal income is back.
Don't do it? They default/get evicted etc. And you have a lot of not easily solvable social problems vs just a slight hole in the imaginary bank account. Also a lot of angry people out on the street with nothing but time on their hands and their backs against the wall.
Economics is not about fair shakes or what always makes sense at the individual level, it's about what keeps the economic engine going vs throwing an anchor in the track.
Beyond that, it's ultimately a government's job to take care of it's citizens, otherwise why does it exist?
