^^right, how are there so many people about to be evicted that isn’t right!! Why isn’t the government doing more, this is bs and y are so many people going to have to chose between risking there lives and dying or a small ass paycheck cause they can’t get shit if they don’t go back n work, other countries r so much more together than this

They extended the eviction moratorium here but it's like ok, we're just kicking the can down the road. It's not like they cancelled the rent. If someone lost their job for 3 months & deferred it, then manages to replace the job, you're still expecting them to pay all their regular bills plus 3 months of back rent + late fees within another few months. That's just not feasible for a lot of people.

Edit: oh and to your point that other countries handled it better: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/developing-countres-coronavirus-united-states-global-south_n_5edaa785c5b6dc3de7b94546

Senegal and Rwanda did better than us by miles. Senegal. And. Rwanda. Good God.

Not to mention the millions spent on corporate bailouts.


That shit really gets to me.

The average citizen has it hammered into them that they need to have 6 months of living expenses saved, that they can't afford to buy a house because of too many lattes or happy hours, essentially that they're poor because of their own bad choices. But sorry, you make "too much" money to qualify for Medicaid, or for your kid to get the Pell Grant for college. Lost your job? Oh, we'll give you a whopping $240 a week for unemployment and make you jump through a hoop every week to get it, proving you're looking for work. That's the extent of the help the American public gets.

An airline has billions in revenue, yet somehow can't even survive the first MONTH of this pandemic, and they get written a massive government check. Who is wagging a finger at them and saying "tsk tsk, should have saved for a rainy day"? Why don't they get told "But your net profit was $200 million last quarter, you made too much money to qualify for any help"?

Ugh, this sucks, I see they have a new pending determination under my benefits, which basically says I should be getting 300 per week less than what I’ve been getting and it looks like they already paid me for the whole year so idk I guess that means I can’t get anymore unemployment??? Wtf, there really putting the press down to go back to work even tho I could die and all.. this is BS I feel like Hillary wouldn’t have done us like this

What do you mean they paid you for the whole year??

Mine got messed up too. Our portal is really badly designed and I think when they finally reviewed mine, the person looked at just my W-2 (so, 1 quarter worth of tipped hourly wages) and didn't open my uploaded documents (so, ignored my Schedule C) and dropped me down to the minimum state amount. It takes forever to even get their phones to put you in the queue & then another 2 hours to get a live person so I'm procrastinating calling to argue about it.

They wanna tell people to go get jobs, how about creating some in the unemployment call centers... ::)

They determined I earned about 16000 more than what my tax return says so that put my weekly benefits about 300 per week more so according to the new pending determination they would have already paid me for what I was qualified to get until the year is over, under the first determination I should’ve still been able to get 10k through the end of year... I’m not sure if the initial determination came from figures my club gave them cause that wouldn’t include tip out which adds up over a year.. anyways I saw they did pay me this morning and the new determination is pending so I am gonna guess I’m not eligible to get any more $$ I guess I’ll have to wait on the letter I saw all this in my online account, there system is not made for the self employed so I guess that’s part of it, clearly I wouldn’t claim what I tipped out as income I don’t even see it when I go home but I was paid that so it should count, maybe a lawyer could clear it up..

The Uber wealthy have not experienced any (or bare minimal) negative financial effects of the pandemic. They’re insulated from it all.

as usual. 🙄🙄🙄


the republican bill(s) we’re set to be introduced today and basically along the lines with what was mentioned above. $200 unemployment boost is crap though imo for those that still have no job and cannot return to work because government mandated closures. Hopefully this will be at least 400 when passed which is more reasonable. Second round of stimulus is nice but that o my goes so far when you have no job.

After they cut PUA I was getting such a low amount. Like I legit made more from the job I worked in high school lol. I checked my account today and got 2 payments of $400+ from unemployment. I know $300 was suppose to going out soon but I haven't heard anyone or seen any posts about it nor have I heard or seen anyone getting more than $300. I feel like this is an account glitch or something lol. Has anyone else gotten gotten similar?

Some states r doing 400, there r like 3 doing it Kentucky and some others idk, but I got my whole amount this past weekend, 300 per week since august 1 and they stopped at September 5, now there r no more payments and there not even talking seriously about giving us more so u better hold onto whatever u get! Doesn’t that suck, I get like 200 per week and now there gonna start making me repay so if they don’t come w more on top of unemployment that’s just BS for real, never would I ever need this money if it wasn’t for a pandemic..

If your not physically able to be working due to another reason apart from Covid you would not qualify unless u don’t mind taking the risk of not telling them and they probably wouldn’t ever look into such a thing anyways, I claimed the week I was in hospital for 2 days giving birth but I figured it was fine cause I was in hospital on days I would never work at club anyways

When u get on pua, they tell u how much u can earn and still claim unemployment, it is half of your weekly benefit amount so whatever that would be for u, half that is fine not including the extra 300, for most it’s like 99$ in my state.. lol

^Its literally the full state benefit here. Our max state benefit is 240 so you could earn 239 and they’d give you 301.

I applied for SNAP. It has been a similar situation.

I completed the online application, then it instructed me to call for an interview. When I did, it was only a recorded message saying "An interview may not be necessary. If one is necessary, we we review your application and send you a notice." Well, a couple days after, I did receive a notice saying that I must call for an interview, or else my application will not be processed. What do you know--the number to call for an interview is the same one that just plays the recorded message saying an interview may not be necessary.
...
So I tried calling a different number that was on the letter I got, and listened to another recording, and followed the steps to "check the status of my SNAP application." I then waited on hold for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, the hold music abruptly stopped and I heard 3 rings and then silence. I waited for another 10 minutes before hanging up as it was just complete silence. I then called back, waited on hold for another 50 minutes, and then a voice said "We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later," and just hung up on me.

My unemployment application still says pending. I wonder if it's because I haven't filed 2019 taxes yet. I am unable to reach anyone over the phone to check the status of it, no matter which number I call or how many times I call.

I applied for Economic Injury Disaster Loan Emergency Advance (EIDL) 11 days ago (March 31st). I just called to check my status on that, and they said my application is in the system, but they don't have ANY sort of time frame as to when things will be moving forward.

I am trying to apply for PPP, but it is asking for my 2019 taxes, so I will try to file them myself today so I can do that.

Right now I'm doing Postmates deliveries to make money for food, but I only get 1-3 deliveries per day making $7-21 per day. I didn't have success with phone sex or camming. Could try phone sex again, I'm just not sure how to handle all the weird fetish requests. My credit cards are maxed and I'm hoping I don't get evicted because I won't be able to pay rent this month if none of these "relief funds" ever come through.
Did u end up getting the eidl advance? I was wondering if strippers had a problem getting it or what on that cause they ask about if you do live sexual performances but I don’t know that even applies cause it doesn’t have to be sexual...

A new global database shows a significant gap in reported COVID-related deaths, suggesting the actual worldwide death toll is short by at least 1 million. That's due in part to false figures from autocratic regimes.

I figured this, China’s #s at one point just stopped and cuomo in ny hiding nursing home deaths… I’m guessing people want to hide this cause it looks irresponsible

Places are starting to require masks around me.
