    Unless some laws change they don’t have a choice. Go back to work or lose unemployment. If you lose your unemployment you lose the 600 dollars bonus.

    I did enjoy the daily complaining about it

    Wonder how that would work in places that basically allow employees to stay home if they want. For instance the nursing home my mom works at as been locked down since the start and allowed employees to stay home if they wanted. Be interesting if when things open up here at end of week they'll be able to deny unemployment to those people. Know when asked mom she said the home basically had it's hands tied while the shutdown was goin on as far as telling people they had to come in.

    I agree 110% with this ^^.... the odds of a healthy person having problems with this virus are low, very very low.. can it happen sure, same as a healthy person having pneumonia or other illnesses, however, I'm not worried like some are about this.. ... I do use a sanitizer for my hands after gassing up or shopping once I get back in my vehicle, hell, I even spray my keys down, but a mask is out for me, even though I carry one at work (dont use it however as they are not mandatory) .... the damage this virus has caused goes well beyond being infected and the deaths from it .. which MOST deaths were the frail, immune compromised, nursing home and elderly types (Cuomo and Deblasio saw to that in NY/NYC) .... much of this damage wont be known or seen for years .... as for the dems/libs/socialists/deep staters/Fake news media, they are a direct threat to this country with their beliefs and policies, all one has to do is see what they have done/attempted to do and are doing to Trump with their attacks, faux collusion/impeachment BS ... none of this should ever happen to any one, no matter which side of the isle they are on ..... if the Dems gain control, we are doomed !!

    Right now in Michigan there are 2 reasons to stay on unemployment 1. You have covid. 2 you caring for a person who has covid and are the primary care giver. Anything else it’s back to work.

    Yea like said not sure what's gonna happen here. The states not opening up but some counties are, one I live in for instance. Saw while back Iowa said employers can deny unemployment if job says to go back to work. There were exceptions but not sure what. Luckily haven't needed to use it but know some were having hard time getting them. Bad thing is gonna be jobs for the ppl that were on it can't match the pay.

    I'll probably be slapped around work if I said this in public. This whole heroes bill looking to pay front line and first responders 25k. Why do I deserve 25k for just doing my job? I have a job. A lot of Americans lost their jobs...give them the damn money.

    Let's not forget that some Governor's modified or suspended unemployment rules. Here Prickster did away with the one week waiting period and eliminated the maximum benefits period making anyone who was not working eligible for attaining unemployment again even if their joblessness was due to laziness.

    Nice to see you're still cherry picking your way through things. For a minute there I thought you was worried about the cruiseline's getting bailed out, glad you talked Trump out of that one.

    Get over it, the $600 unemployment bonus was a democrat failure and there's a reason they want to extend it now before the economy can start rebounding as things open back up.

    Democrats care about you and yours as much as they do the rest of us. You should move to IL, you would love it here.

    hazard pay and to be sure God could come down from heaven and order me to do what you do or else...I would have to take the or else. Maybe a job but it's one that many do not have the constituion for. God Bless those that do it and do it well.

    You just posted a bunch of stuff that does not matter if you get called back to work. The law of if you get called back you go to work still intacted.

    Not sure why you brought up crusie ships. Papa trump took care of them.

    To what do you refer? You post a bunch of useless stuff as well.

    I brought up the crusie(sic) ships because when I first started bitching about a bonus for being unemployed your question was, "will it cost more than bailing out the cruiselines?" That was your bigger concern.

    I'd rather have bailed them out in hindsight, it would have been cheaper and they actually employ American workers. Before you go trying to put words in my mouth, I was against the cruisline bailout(that was only mentioned, never pushed for) as well as the universal income under the guise of unemployment enhancement.

    Get over it, your party is a failure that wants to make Trump fail so they can fail some more while in power.

    I'm sure a few of you are Bill Maher fans, guessing he'll get taken out of the club....

    Still 3 counties in Minnesota with zero cases of the virus, several others with single digit cases.
