We should all feel for the workers out there risking
themselves working essential services for the rest of the population. Some work in Supermarkets, pharmacies, post
offices, hospitals, labs, banks, take-outs, or as home health aides and
caregivers, etc.
Some of these workers are part-time and may only make $200.
a week or so. These people will not be
getting the unemployment stimulus that many are getting in our Country which
will give them their unemployment plus an extra $600. a week.
Imagine getting $175. in p/t unemployment plus a $600. a
week bonus totaling $775. for sitting home doing nothing or just watching TV
and snacking. This will be a 4 month
weekly bonus with an extended 39 week unemployment allowance.
People of higher incomes will get up to $713. in NJ unemployment
plus the $600. a week bonus and they may still be getting less than what they
previously made.
The stimulus left out much of the disabled population and
kids over 16. It does not give anything
for higher income workers who are on the front line risking themselves full
time for everyone else’s essentials or medical needs.
The Stimulus 2020 was not very well thought out.
