I am happy my fellow Americans are getting extra financial assistance in a seriously terrible economic situation.

Very confused as to why this is an issue for some.

More scraps for the peasants to fight over while corporate capitalists carry away bags of money to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Every family of the 90 million people killed by this thing should get a million dollars. Jeff Bezos can pay for it all.

Your 90 million is a real quote as well.

And unlike you and MANY here, I admitted to being woefully wrong.

You know what you said Rick. Own it or don't, really couldn't care less.

Guys, let's take this argument out of this thread and focus on the terrible topic created by ontiveros.

one part of the CARES act that has me scratching my head is the additional $600 that is being added weekly, across the board, to all individuals receiving unemployment benefits in illinois.

don't get me wrong, i'm ok with people getting unemployment benefits while they are laid off. the issue i have is the across the board policy with the extra $600.

i know a lot of people who were part-time employees earning less than $200 a week while they were working regular hours who are now laid off due to COVID19 and are now getting $650-700 weekly in unemployment benefits.

makes more sense to give them unemployment benefits equal to their average weekly pay.

Do you know that you said a third of the country is at risk from dying?

Simple math was done to get that 90 million figure.

I'd rather give unemployed people an extra 600 that will be spent. The airlines are getting 50 billion after spending 45 billion buying back their own stock so their execs could get huge raises.
