I went from not expecting any Coronabucks to now expecting to get the full amount.

Another reason why the house version makes much more sense. $1,500 for everyone now. Pay it back in some fashion if you make more than 75k up to 100k or whatever in 2020.

And I hope you, and others like you, consider donating a good portion if you don't need it. It would somewhat allay my concerns about my future status but not fully I guess. I'd probably just save it in case I do lose it at some point.

Whatever, give everyone money imo.

But right now, it’s wasting time, it’s wasting resources.

Imagine if the republicans put a clause in there reversing GHG standards? Purging voter rolls?

Brings me to a conundrum. Listened to an restaurant owner interviewed yesterday. She talked about servers who make 1000 bucks a week in tips only getting $90 in unemployment. They were obviously under-reporting their tips right? In part I'm sympathetic because $90 is nothing but at the same time if they weren't cheating they wouldn't be in the situation.

If given the choice between dying and plunging the country I love into a Great Depression, I’d happily die.

Interesting that you equate purging voter rolls with helping people vote. And reversing pollution standards with things like giving workers rights. That's pretty telling.

No idea if they are underreporting their tips, but the specificity of the $90 number makes me think she's talking about just their wages paid by the restaurant. 40 hours times $2.25/hr or whatever it is now is pretty much exactly $90.

Servers generally do report most of their tips. If they fall below a certain % based on the restaurant you work at, you or the restaurant may come under scrutiny. I always reported 100% because it help me in the long run. Most others did the same or close to the same. I'm talking about people working at it full-time.

It’s not equivalency. It’s an example.

And the fact that you focused on that and not the substance of my concern is telling.

In PA, anyway, I believe that when you file for UC, income is reported by the employer, based on "taxable income." If it's going un-taxed(basically under the table), they won't be able to draw UC against it.
