You know what would be an absolutely amazing and informative study?

[Willie99]

How many people that support the lock-down(s) have lost their jobs and / or are realizing a significant loss of income?

I'd wager many who support the lock-down lost nothing, others are actually ahead of the game financially with unemployment and rebates

I'd wager the vast majority of people who have suffered significant economic consequences oppose the lock-down.

As time moves on, a lot of people who have avoided an economic crisis because of unemployment benefits and rebate checks will start singing a different tune once funds run out (Nancy is trying to get ahead of this phenom and keep the lock-down in place until at least November, that's why she wants to give out even more money)

How about more simple than that? How many people that support the lock down are registered Democrats?

Your first question, sir, is the prototype for rhetorical questions. For all of those readers who don't know what that means - it is a question that has an answer that is so obvious that it doesn't need to be answered.

There are significant amounts of people that are either on equal footing or better than they were pre-COVID. I do feel for those who are not, and I pray for them to recover.

Why risk your health and go to work if you can make the same money (or at least most of it) by staying home?

Again, rhetorical question

Which means support for extended shutdowns will diminish greatly July 31, 2020. When the $ 600 bonus unemployment check ends.

It will begin to diminish for some long before that, when their rebate checks are gone

Which is why Nancy is demanding more and more handouts, to maintain support for their lock-downs

 

[gamblingshark1]

And then there's the other group that never felt they were at a health risk from the beginning, while they kept working outside their homes. Even if given a choice of collecting free money to stay home , they still chose to go to work. People in this group were deemed irresponsible and selfish by the "stay at home" supporters. Unless of course you were a certain type of "essential" worker, then you were a "hero" to society. I think everyone who opposed the lock downs had all or most of the following characteristics: hard working, intelligent,good foresight,fearless,responsible and yes empathetic. Enough empathy to feel that a mandatory lock down of "non essential" workers would do more harm than good for the majority of the worlds population as we move forward from a virus that was known from the beginning to have a roughly 98% survival rate.

Employees need to get back on payroll by June 30 in order for their employers to recieve PPP funds with forgiveness (i still havent read the recent 40 page SBA report).

Rumor has is that the HEROES act doesnt have any $$ for us "less funded folk"

I know PLENTY of lazy republicans who dont want to work either and get paid. Hard to believe, i know

 

[slapshot]

I know plenty of Democrats that have been working since the lockdown

I agree with Willie that a study like this would be absolutely amazing and interesting. Any predictions what the results would be. I am certain it would show the same results as previous research in this area. A study like that would once again show the Best unemployment numbers in the history of our Country. And also JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!

That's me, shark.

I've actually benefited from the shutdown in a few ways.

But I'd give it all back for an immediate full reopening. I do care about my fellow man.

The state chose to hurt some to help others. As it turned out they are killing some while they try to save a very few compromised people, the vast majority who have lived and are past their productive lives.

Government sucks. They even fk up good intentions.

Exactly
My good friend Willie missed a whole segment of people (including myself) - not personally economically impacted (at least directly), but empathetic to the impact to others and wary of the impact to the "greater good". I have friends that own small businesses that are suffering. Good people. I care about them, and Americans like them.

Ha Harry, we posted similar thoughts at the exact same time.

 

[CHOPTALK]

There are people on this forum for the first time in their life experiencing 4 figure checks and they like it and they don’t want to let go of that .
They don’t care about the people who actually work to get ahead in life .

They absolutely should not play someone more money on UE then they make in real life .

They should raise the caps for UE for people who make more .
Instead of a blanket $600 for everyone . Give the people who make more , more then 600 . Give the people who make less only up to what they normally make .

This is a really great point. People with more money should get more in government handouts. People with less money should get less in government handouts. I think everyone can agree on that.

 

[KennyB]

Or unemployment should pay no more than 90% of that person's actual wages to incentivize getting back to work.

 

[CHOPTALK]

What I’m saying is if someone is use to making XXX it makes no sense for the government to give them xxxx

 

[CHOPTALK]

Or unemployment should pay no more than 90% of that person's actual wages to incentivize getting back to work.

the problem is let’s say UE is paying someone who normally makes 300 a week 600 and someone who normally makes 900 a week 600.

Just give the person who normally makes 300 his/her 300 and take the rest and give 900 to the other
