Probably, but there's this obsessive need to have an open-access place to discuss COVID, so this is what you get. At the same time people complain it's political, because... it is. It inherently has to be.
Since you’re laughing at all my posts I decided to show ignored comments. Stating facts doesn’t say anything about me.
Clearly this is a topic that is front on many peoples minds and is going to be discussed regardless - the decision was made that it's worthwhile to have a non-cave thread in addition to the ones in the politics forum.

This is just an example but unemployment benefits are a major problem across the entire nation. Only a small percentage of people filing are actually receiving any benefits.

I know many people that were self employed who had to close down who haven’t received any unemployment benefits and they filed in late March.
If I told you that wearing either the N95 or the surgeon masks are a waste of time.....do you feel the need to "inherently" interject politics?
I know someone here in Iowa that filed for unemployment. was accepted got his information about how much he would receive but then when the day comes he doesn't get anything and this has happened for 3 weeks in a row and he can't get through to anyone when he calls.
Are you currently doing appraisals? Just asking because our refinance is on hold because we were told appraisers don't want to go in peoples houses.
It's not after taxes. Taxes are withheld on unemployment and unemployment is taxable.
So people aren’t receiving 600 net? And if they aren’t do you know what amount they are receiving?
That would seem to be more objectively wrong via science than politics, so... no, not on something that narrow?
It's not really possible to have a conversation of meaningful depth about the pandemic without inherently invoking a political discussion, as the political entities that be are the main points of responsibility for COVID response, so that's more the issue at hand.
Well if that’s true that is definitely a problem. I would imagine they’ll be paid back for previous weeks, or at least I hope so. but even if they do in the interim I can imagine that would be very difficult.
It's true. Check the link I posted previously. A large percentage of people in this country that need assistance aren't receiving it.
Well no.....the N95's allow more than the acceptable %5 of small virions to pass, and the surgeon masks do next to nothing in protecting the user from the environment.
If they elect to not have any withholdings then they will get $600, but they will have to pay the taxes come tax time. My clients that have applied I told to have withholdings taken out. I can't say what the net amount is that they are receiving because none of them have actually received any money yet and are getting pretty frustrated. They will receive back pay for the weeks they filed and weren't paid once they are approved but that isn't helping them now when they have no money coming in because they had to close their business.
My daughter has a double major from ISU. She has worked 4 different jobs since graduating and has not yet made $15 per hour.
