I believe in California people are getting up to $1050 ($450+$600) a week.God Bless California, because that ain't happening in Connecticut
So, all is cool with you then?
No problems?
That's really good to hear, because everyone else I know is crying
Not at all. im just stating the facts. And minimum wage in general needs to be raised in every state to actually provide a wage you can live on.

So why is it a problem that your friend is able to survive? Also, why are you on this forum now, if you are working "11-hours a day"?
When did i ever say it was a problem!?

Most of them are essential workers.

You implied it. You are resentful that she is able to survive while unemployed, meanwhile you still have to work to survive.

The Guatemalans i used to work with were some good guys. They are probably bumming out hard right now. Day laborer's and night restaurant workers, i dont know when they slept.
I am not in the least bit resentful. I helped her make the claim. And i hope that the rest of my friends checks come as well.
I guess if i sound sour, its because all of my friends are just straight chillin right now. and i am considered an 'essential worker' being forced to work overtime so that the rest of the world can use the internet.

I did no hoarding despite roughly expecting what was to come. But I had the wife buy a couple months of cat food. It was a good call.

Nothing has kicked in; new unemployment claims are yet to receive the $600 bump, so you're not missing much..the $1200, has started to be direct deposited off the 2018/2019 tax info as of last Friday with first receiving Wednesday 4/15 in their accounts. There will be a website launched on 4/17 "Where's My Stimulus" for those not receiving on first round.

Incoming Wednesday.lol i have a case being delivered today....
I'm fat for the rest of the summer.
It's what industry and janitorial services use, we had cases of it where I worked.
I hear there's a lot available with lowered demand for industrial/janitorial services. Somebody has to buy it.

Its shitty how employers have treated that sector of work. Those people are generally very well educated and do work hard. But the job is portable and a US worker has to compete with people in Banglore or elsewhere where the cost of living is lower and good jobs are harder to find. US workers built the companies and then are told to take a pay cut but mostly are told to train their foreign worker replacements.
If one good thing comes from this epidemic it might be the end of rampant job stealing, wage sucking globalization, environment degrading corporate globalization. Also, honor given to workers. Maybe re-energize the union movement or would that be too much to hope for?
i'd rather use sandpaper.
