In related horrible articles look what USA today did lol. It's a article about a 20 year old working in Target by her Chud dad/ Working to make a company richer so they can do more stock buybucks and executive compensation is not heroic. Especially since grocery stores are one of the highest risk jobs right now. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2020/04/15/coronavirus-turns-target-worker-into-dads-hero-frontlines/5137575002/ quote:I wanted my daughter to go to college, to discover her passion and make her mark in the world. etalian has issued a correction as of 14:33 on Apr 17, 2020 |

lmao most people probably spend $800-$1000 on housing costs at best case so it barely covers one month rate. Even worse in higher cost areas in which housing costs would be 1800+

I just realised, if they think $1200 is enough for 10 weeks then they think you can live on an annual after-tax income of just over $6000. Also some banks were taking the $1200 if people's accounts are overdrawn, so people weren't even seeing the money: quote:Some banks are putting customers’ deposits from the federal government toward negative balances in their accounts — leaving those unfortunate taxpayers with nothing, the New York Times reported Thursday. https://nypost.com/2020/04/16/banks-are-taking-coronavirus-stimulus-checks-for-overdrawn-accounts/

Complications posted:It's literally $3 per hour, restaurant minimum wage. lol I was about to call you out as a disingenuous douche, because it's stupid to divide the payment according to 24 days when only eight hours are normally worked. But before doing so I ran the numbers in my calculator and Holy poo poo.

Imagine how much posting we could be doing where hours worked went down as productivity rose. Imagine an 8 hour work week, and I don't mean per day.

So far, it's clear people are posting way less when they're not forced to sit at work for 40 hours a week.

Queensland government backs down from Tenant Assistance laws during coronavirus as the Landlords win concessions including that tenants must prove they've lost more than 25% of income to seek discounted rent and that landlords will have the ability to seek debt collectors to track down tenants to pay the discount difference back after lockdown is over.

Elman posted:People still eat the same amount of food, with or without restaurants. well, not really, no. I’m not saying for a second that there aren’t terribly perverse capitalist incentives playing out here. But under semi-lockdown you’re going to see a lot more demand for non-perishables and longer term perishables as opposed to some veggies and other foods that quickly become pretty undesirable if not fresh. Rice, Flour, Beans, and other things that freeze or can or dry well are easier to stock up a week+ supply at a time while people minimize trips to public spaces than things like fresh leafy greens.
