Why do Americans want to go back to work so bad when they get $600 a week in federal unemployment benefits plus state unemployment benefits?

Why are americans protesting to go back to work and "open up the economy"?

Because some people are smarter than a 3rd grader and understand that the lasting economic effects of a slumbering economy will be devastating. Do you think there will just be infinite money to give out a year from now? Do you think that goods will just be manufactured, processed, and shipped magically from thin air? Do you think that the poverty levels of the Great Depression aren't anything to worry about? Do you think that increases in depression, drug overdose, and suicide is a good thing?

I really don't understand how people are having a hard time understanding this. Are you actually over 18 and think that society can just function with money and goods magically being delivered to your door indefinitely? How can anyone thing this is about "I sure really wanna go work work right now" instead of "we're heading into Great Depression 2.0 and if we don't stop this shit now we will have a death count higher than the faulty Covid19 projections claimed we'd have."

Really makes me question the capability of the general population to think ahead more than 1 week into the future.

I make 41.50 an hour which translates to roughly 86k a year. after taxes and everything that comes out of a check my take home pay was about 2200 every 2 weeks. My unemployment check is 2208 every 2 weeks. On top of that I also was paying $800 every 2 weeks for child care and now that I’m home I can bond with him and also save $800 every 2 weeks. Also subtract transportation costs and everything else that comes along with working. Plus I get to play video games and go on walks instead of fucking working. Never going back.

Because Americans built a culture around working yourself to death, otherwise your life has no purpose. Maybe if they'll stack those shelves at Costco an extra 20 hours a week they'll be Jeff Bezos one day. if youre not putting in 80 hours a week youre a fucking failure. #hustleneverstops #dailygrind #fuckthepoor

They don't work smart or efficiently, nobody cares about your work/life balance, no holidays, the only way they get shit done is brute force. The only difference between burgers and chinks is that burgers have been brainwashed to want to do this shit willingly.

I wish UK would give people even half that 600$ a week. You get 370$ a month here...

Who do you think will make your precious video games if nobody is working anymore? Who do you think will make the meat for you to eat dinner with? Who do you think will maintain the electric grid for you to sit on your ass all day?

Why the fuck are people so retarded? It's not about WANTING to go back to work. It's about understanding the repercussions of nobody working anymore. I sure as fuck don't want to return to work, but the alternative is way fucking worse.

State unemployment benefits are adjusted to the money you made before you were let go.

The issue is that a majority of places aren't letting people go or terminating them specifically so that the employer doesn't have to pay out unemployment benefits, since employers have to pay part of your unemployment.

>> No.19093797

>>19090840
Americans don't believe in sitting back and allowing themselves to be taken care of by their government. For better or worse, the US has encouraged a culture of individualism and upward mobility which makes the people feel unfulfilled if they do not earn their own money for themselves, whether or not that culture only promotes an illusion. That's what makes us different from Europe.

I wasn't working most of 2019 due to being a college student. The unemployment office requires people to have earned $250 average per week to qualify. I made well over that just not in the specified time frame because I was not working. It's the same gay reason I didn't get Trumpbux because I let my parents claim me as a dependent in 2019.
