I've been working more hours since this covid shit started, I average 53 hours a week right now. I am tired of hearing all these lazy whiny ass people not wanting to go back to work because they are happier taking the government handed out money. Get the fuck back to work and earn your money like a man and stop pretending to be scared of this bullshit virus so you can get paid to stay home and play video games.

Another thing that pisses me off is people who work over the system. I deliver packages for a living and I deliver to the clinic here. They cut hours due to the covid thing so they don't work Fridays. The workers get 32 hours in a week and collect unemployment for being laid off on Friday. So for being laid off ONE day a week they collect unemployment AND get the additional $600 a week just because they lose a single day of work. Shit is fucked up.

Welcome back, I've been at work full time the entire time.
Past few weeks have been some sort of Twilight zone/reversoland where those with the least useful jobs (therefore not "essential") were being paid to do nothing.
Not a sustainable concept at all.

This is part of the divide and conquer strat. Everyone will hate everyone because of the virus, the people who realized it was over blown vs the people who don't.
Lost of people still believe its a big deal solely because they want to get this 1300 a week unemployment. I was laid off for 3 weeks and the 1,300 to sit at home was great lol can't deny staying home and gaming was fun.
But the idea is now that I am back at work, I can't deny I like sitting at home and enjoying myself like most people, I would rather be laid off right now.
Destroy the economy, demotivate the employees, make the working employees angry at the non working, nothing will be the same after this. Society is breaking down. They won.

So true, amazing how many people were virtue signalling on twitter lobbying their employers to furlough them so they can get that phat pay slip to sit at home.

I am not on unemployment; I've been working, too. If you think Covid-19 is nothing to worry about, you've got more serious things to think about than people accepting their own tax payer dollars in order to pay the rent.

Yeah I never quite understood it myself. I mean yeah I guess it's a rare metal, thus the value we put on it, but still, like you said in the end it's just a metal. I wonder what actual tally is of deaths throughout history that occurred because of gold.

Right now you are communicating on the internet, and all the electronics you are using to do this, the servers, wires etc all use gold. Its one of the most conductive materials there are and is limited in supply and was made from supernovas billions of years ago.

lol who are "they"?
if you think society was great 6 months ago then you are the ignorant one my friend. society as we know it wreaks havoc on our planet. polluting and destroying eco systems. but what do humans care? as long as they get to go to work for pennies and buy fancy shoes and purses.
as for demotivating employees? you mean to tell me that people loved their jobs before this covid shit. that is naive. i dont know anyone that loves their job. i know it exists, but its not common. we work to eat and pay bills. thats the baseline motivation.
not everyone is filled with disdain for others. the "essential" workers are not going to hate the furloughed workers because they are getting unemployment. to say such a thing proves how cruel your heart is.

What are people going to do when nobody is hiring employees because it's cheaper to automate, customers don't want to risk coming in, and it becomes cost prohibitive to employee people?
.
Retail workers are like 10 percent of the population. Most jobs don't involve face to face interaction with customers and those that do can spring for 20 dollars worth of plexi-glass. The world isn't going to end and you will be black to slaving in a exploitative capitalist system that doesn't value you soon enough. If your job can be automated it will be, virus or not.
Yes it sucks all the bars and restaurants are shut down but the industrial plaza I work in is full of vehicles and people, every day, its just less visible than shut down retail locations. Not everyone is out of work, far from it, and the people working will just have to support those that aren't with their tax dollars until its over. I haven't missed a day, I haven't taken one cent of a government handout. Unemployment in my area is 13 percent. Lots of people have transitioned to working for home too.
Government has nothing but money, you just got suckered into believing it needs the money to buy bombs and war machines instead of hospitals and school lunches.
As long as you're not claiming it's solely republicans suckering people about budgets, I agree.
You make several good points but in all honesty the last portion of your post here reads like an oversimplified college-level understanding of political realities.

No, the right to be a lazy obese slob is the only right being upheld.
