Alot of people don't have a job right now through no fault of their own. Why are you acting like this is a normal situation and economy where anyone who isn't working is a lazy pos. My husband was a logistics consultant before all of this, making decent money and now he's applying for menial labor jobs to be able to pay the bills. We live in a small town, still largely affected by the shutdown and alot of jobs are just gone, not likely to come back anytime soon. You can blame the government for this situation, thank you very much. And p.s. we definitely don't feel like we are being rewarded. We feel screwed, and rightfully so.

I just said everyone should get it, that wouldn't make your household get a penny less. In fact you would also get $400, so your household would actually get more.

Sorry maybe I took that wrong but I'm seeing a lot of comments about anyone who isn't working right now is lazy or not looking hard enough. Its hiting a nerve since we are trying so hard to find something. The way you worded it made me think you were saying people are being rewarded during this bullshit and that is just not the case for another of people. Again, my bad if I misunderstood 🙂

No apologies necessary, you made a valid point.

I'm out in the country and my friends are trying to hire people but with coronabux these folks get paid more to be unemployed than to work.

It is a weird situation, lotta different motivations. Thanks for your input.
