No more stimulus ,,, staying home making more on unemployment is over time to find a job.
What say you

What is stimulus and unemployment?
I've never had either

A couple years ago i lost my job after working since I was 15. I made the most of my unemployment -- and finally decided to do my own thing. Best move I ever made. After paying into it for 30+ years, I figured I could take a little out. It allowed my to clear my head and have a different perspective on the employer/employee relationship. I decided that employee was not for me. Best of luck in your journey. I cannot find fault with someone trying to better themselves through using what is available to them. If you are just using the system I have seen it and don't appreciate it.

I believe in most states employers pay unemployment insurance not employees, maybe Oregon is one of the few that employees contribute.

so your original post was about others abusing the system, and not about yourself. if i misunderstood, i apologize. i know people whove chosen to not work, because the enhanced unemployment pays better. some people have no pride it seems. congrats on your retirement. i hope youre young enough to enjoy it for many years to come.

I was speaking of the national wide stay home program some were faced with, some had it force on them. Then some took advantage of now it's going run out some folks probably need it. Some took advantage of it.
It was wrong from the start imo should have been equal to there wage until it was ok to go back to work because of forced stay at home order or request ? Which ever way you see it .

i agree with your "equal to their wage" scenario. if someone worked sufficient hours last year to qualify for 350.00/week in unemployment, why should they be getting 950.00/week instead? i know these people personally. i also know some that took the PPP money, and stuck it in the stock market. their thinking was that if it was forgiven, great. if it wasnt, they pay it back at only 1% interest. this was federal money that was intended to help businesses in distress due to covid.

I love these middle of the night responses that missed that the OP was obviously joking. Can really tell (I hope) who has been up drinking.

Did the same people that wrote the rules for milking the top write the same rules for milking the bottom? Who writes the rules for the guy in the middle getting squeezed from both sides? I think he must be on break!

Mother Nature's way is still the best. If a body or family can't take care of themselves, they get ate by the predators. Cruel, but Mother Nature isn't in debt 27 Trillion from handouts.
