Western Journal: On Saturday, nine states will join Iowa, Mississippi and Missouri in ending their pandemic-related unemployment benefits early in an effort to encourage people to go back to work.
CBS News reported these states are Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Indiana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming MORE
In Florida, the extended bennies end on June 26th.
I just got back from a vacation to Colorado with my grandkids. Everywhere we went, there were ‘help wanted’ and ‘now hiring’ signs. Many places haven’t opened because they can’t get lazy bastards to come back to work because they are sitting on their butts collecting free money from the rat bastard Democrats.
Specifically designed to kill small business. And it’s working.
Kind of torn on this…
Why be virtuous and decline the money while we ARE STILL FUNDING THE FUCKING WUHAN LAB?!!!
This WILL help get people back to work.
There is a YUGE shortage of HVAC parts everywhere, just like every other industry.
Soooo – I just got hired (temp, so that I don’t have to take civil service exams, won’t qual for retirement, etc.) at a State (to be unnamed) Dept. of Unemployment. General “clerical” = take all the blistering phone calls from the folks waiting 6 months for their $. I accepted the f-ing job, then days later I get the “welcome” email telling me that I won’t even get a fu*king paycheck for FOUR WEEKS. Yep! I am expected to work for FOUR weeks before being paid. I have never had a job that was like – “yeah, you come work here and we will pay your ass when we get good and ready!”. Oh, and there is more, but I am too pissed to go further.
Seriously, the only people I know who have taken the money are Democrat voters. We haven’t taken a red cent of any kind of “Covid Relief”. As long as I have two strong hands and can work, that’s what I did and do.
Everywhere (in Seattle) I go there are “help wanted”/”hiring NOW!” signs. If you want to work, you CAN find a job.
AA, we are in the same boat. Our banker contacted us months ago to inquire why we haven’t applied. She did everything except say what’s wrong with you, it’s free money. This is a big part of our problem, people are so accustomed to voting for Santa Clause they can’t believe there will be an end to the freebies.
Here in AZ they are ending the bennies soon. I have had to struggle to get one resume emailed in from the ad a week. We reposted it Wednesday and had eight responses on Thursday. Tell me again how extended unemployment didn’t shrink the workforce.
joe6 & AA, I think many people are so fucking tired of our tax dollars being shipped overseas that they just can’t be the only virtuous ones and continue to bend over.
Why keep bailing when the SS America has hit the stolen election iceberg?
Screw it, let this ship sink because it looks like we are only saving assholes anymore.
Fuck it, I’m done.
Like the Joker said “let it burn!”
Yep, if we’re going to Hell in a hand basket, it might as well be a really nice hand basket.
Well, GrandeMe, at least you know the number to call and complain….
burner: ” if we’re going to Hell in a hand basket..”
hell in a bucket
