When they 'earn' more by staying home drinking beer

A spa owner in Washington State was one of the lucky ones who received a forgivable loan from the Small Business Administration through the Paycheck Protection Program. Yet when she told her employees what she thought was good news, many of them became angry.
*
Black-Lewis held a virtual employee meeting to explain that everyone would start receiving paychecks again thanks to the loans, thinking her staff would be ecstatic to get their income back. Unfortunately, due to the flat $600-a-week increase in weekly unemployment benefits included in the $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief bill, it meant some of her employees would earn more being unemployed than if they were to get their jobs back.

  3. The owner needs to start advertising for NEW Employees ASAP. If these old ones are STUPID enough to demand their jobs back after the unemployment RUNS OUT. The owner should tell them too bad I replaced you and show them the door

  6. CA Governor Newscum decreed that illegals will get money from the state, i.e., the taxpayer. A benefit is an absence of the annoying sound of leaf blowers and lawn mores in sore need of a tune-up. This state is going belly up. It will be great when this state is run into the ground but denied bail out from the fed. Even the sheep are starting to wake up.

  10. Wages for working stiffs are way behind the times. You guys are yelling for poor WORKING folks to get back to work. Folks who will break their back and still need welfare.

    It don't add up anymore.
