No... I already had savings. Yes, I can pay rent with a credit card if I had to.

I'm still working and I never said I don't agree with handouts. I don't agree with "Should’ve been $2,000 on 4/1/20 And another $2,000 on 4/15/20" that was mentioned upthread.

$4000 a month on UI? LOL... ok. Good luck with that. As I said in another thread there has to be incentive to return to work... and $600 on top of a weekly UI benefit is already too much. That's a lot more than most people on UI will have made when they were working. You don't see anything wrong with that?

Anyway, not looking to debate the topic. What I said still stands... it's not the job of the government to support it's citizens. The US Treasury is not a bottomless pit of money.

Good luck.

Then why are you paying your taxes? So that the government can turn their backs on you during a pandemic?


Not all of us can pay rent with a cc.

UI is giving out about an average of $500 max a week plus the $600 which comes out to $4.4k a month for those who qualifies.

Those who qualifies gets $4,400 a month if you’re still alive and claiming every week, Rather than giving it to us in one lump sum.
