racer254 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 What a concept. Actually giving incentives for people who want to work. Some states are paying one-time bonuses up to $2,000 to unemployed workers who accept a job. At least 22 Republican-led states recently announced their intent to pull out of federal unemployment programs. The withdrawal will end or reduce unemployment benefits for 3.6 million people — about a quarter of all Americans collecting such aid, according to Andrew Stettner, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/21/states-ending-unemployment-offering-a-return-to-work-bonus-up-to-2000.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted June 1, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted June 1, 2021 We should change the child labor laws to a minimum age of 35 before the youth can hold a job. That gives them time to fully develop their brains instead of being manipulated by corporate America and capitalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like most jobs require you to be inundated with idiotic propaganda like the us military. I mean look at the ex military around here? Even the ones with functioning brains still can’t bring themselves to any amount of critical thinking that opposes what was programmed into them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 1, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) The dems are proposing $2000 a month stimulus checks per adult and $1000 per child. Family of 5 would get $7000 a month or $84,000 per year. Edited June 1, 2021 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its likely they wouldn't. These people would now actually be paying income taxes and the cost of goods/services would rise significantly. In the end its likely they would have little extra. If $24 was good why not $50.00? The people who were making $24 would now be asking for $58 for the same percentage increase over the FMW.
