Meh,

I’m just glad to still be working. I don’t care what anyone else gets for going or not going to work.

So the unemployed are less likely to rob and steal from you.

I'm not complaining, we're basically doing rotating weeks since we went to half staff and we get paid for the weeks we're off.

I'm getting paid for 10 hour days and working 2 hour days. Let's make this last for as long as we can.

I agree. That's why they should raise the minimum wage to $15/hour.

This whole shutdown is a consequence of the idea people now have that government is responsible for taking care of us.


You do realize they did the exact same things in 1918?

Do part time unemployed get extra cash on it(20 hrs or so)??


The craziest thing is people who were supposed to start jobs but can’t get $600 a week.

Essential workers have abilities. People sitting on their couch have needs. So we take from each according to his ability, and give it to each according to his needs. It's all about fairness.

Stop being concerned with what others are getting and what you're not getting. Do your job and stop the pissing and moaning. Straighten up and fly right!

It shouldn't be an either/or question.

If the government is going to demand that 50-75% of the country stays at home and does not work it hardly stops the fact that those people still have bills to pay and food to buy.

The EITHER/OR way you pose this just pits worker VS worker (which is the exact dynamic that keeps screwing over working people).


Well fricking said!

The legislation passed is a complete embarrassment that shows just how lazy every politician we have elected is.
