What if you have lost your business or a mid to high middle class job and unemployment benefits won’t meet your lifestyle requirements you met with your job? For example if I lost my job unemployment benefits would not cover my fixed expenses then what? Enjoy with my family as I lose my house? Then once the 4 months of that benefit is up and my job or a comparable job is not there then what do I do?
What if it takes the economy longer than 4 months to get back going and I cannot get into a comparable job?
I actually have a lot of employees who have had this same thought because you know what they could make better with the unemployment benefit incentives right now vs. working. Please just lay me off. My answer has been yes you could but what happens when that 4 months runs out? We have been spoiled here lately where the job market has been great and you could find a job anywhere. A lot of people will ride out this benefit just like you and when it’s up all of them are going to be looking for jobs and what if the job market is the same then as it is today? You will then be in a large pool of people looking for work with not that many jobs open. What are you going to do then?
Also, I would add that the cruise, airlines, and tourist industries are going to be hurting for a long time.If someone had the authority to tell everyone go back to work and go about your normal routines Monday it still won't be over. Restaurants, bars and event arenas aren't going to be filled and a lot of people will not risk their health going to work. Many students will not return to class next semester. We're all adjusting to a new set of circumstances caused by an extraordinary event. Making matters worse is no one has faith in anything the government or what the media is telling us. Some of us have faith in one or the other but not both.
Media bias always matters you dolt. A right or left leaning news agency is going to let their bias influence there views and opinions and then transfer those views to their viewers.
Just because they support legalizing drugs doesn’t mean they’re not right leaning. I like and own guns yet I’m definitely left leaning. There can be crossover. Or did your biased new agency tell you that’s impossible?
They're not as much defending Trump anymore as they are making excuses for him.When you are a president and you have only "the best and the brightest", as Trump touts, I think the problem is at the top.
I get that the notion that Trump should not be reelected isn't a position you will ever take, which I'm sure becomes a harder position to defend, daily... but carry on, i guess

Don’t repeat what the president said, it might dangerous for your health.
(Or you know, make him look more like the idiot he is)
I’m not moving goal posts.... it was a BS article.... they are referencing increased calls since the beginning of covid not just after trumps comments on the 23 of April.Moving goal posts. The call are related to what trump said, it’s cause more kids are inside. Wow. Your mental gymnastics are quite impressive. 8/10
I choose option four, call him out cause he’s an idiot and make fun of him for it. Just like you would if it was a democrat that said it.There are three choices:
A) Ignore what he said because it’s stupid.
B) Repeat or quote the entirety of what he said in the context that he was “brain storming” (I use that term loosely) vs recommending.
C) Or, as has been done by the media, state that the president recommended that people go out and buy Lysol or Chlorox brands and either inject or ingest them. This is blatant hyperbole and actually has more potential to harm than his actual idiotic statement.

This is probably he only hing I disagree with. The media would have not let this live for one day, nor would they have had a sudden appreciation for Trump suddenly having self-deprecating humor.Fine. Do it by saying he didn't mean to suggest injections of disinfectant. Maybe even joke about it. A little self depreciating humor.
He'd be made fun of for a day but anything more would look mean spirited. He could turn it to his advantage.
But it means admitting making a little error. He can't bring himself to do it. His ego is huge. But egg shell fragile.
Ooh, now do Trump. Or would you prefer me to?
FactsI've said it all along, the media goes absolutely nutty every time Trump opens his mouth, but my God, he doesn't do himself any favors either.
Trump says stupid things because he thinks he knows better than everybody around him , it’s his giant ego that causes that , he is always trying to be the smartest person in the room . That’s not what Joes problem is .
