But while that gets kicked around let's also examine the UI system of most states that aren't 21st century enough to handle the sheer volume of enrollment right now, Florida for example where they REDESIGNED the system to make it harder to collect unemployment.

And throw in that THAT makes setting a percentage of increase during a special occasion like this almost impossible so they had to settle on a flat number meaning some people made more than when they were working but man were still making less.

No one asks why Kanye and Kim get $1M instead of pawning their gold toilets. Instead they ***** about the person working at McDonald’s who “chooses” to make $600/week temporarily in unemployment benefits by refusing to work thus making them ineligible for the unemployment benefits to begin with.

Kanye gets 32 years worth of a increased unemployment benefits and not a peep from conservatives. But, people making less than $15/hr in the food service industry get shamed because people think they can quit their job and make more in temporarily increased unemployment benefits.

IMO, the desire to extend this unemployment bonus while not eliminating payroll taxes is a tactic to ensure those that have a choice chose to stay home while those that have no choice must make less.

I guess it was too hard to answer my question?

And who has a choice not to go back to work? These fictitious McDonald’s workers you mistakenly think can quit their jobs to make more in unemployment benefits they’re not qualified to receive? Or these fictitious McDonald’s workers you mistakenly think can get themselves fired by claiming wearing a mask bothers them, but an occupational medicine clinic can determine there isn’t a medical reason why the can’t wear the mask and thus they won’t be eligible for the unemployment benefits, either?

Those are the people you think have a choice?

LMAO

BTW this is a coronavirus thread. Not an unemployment thread. Go derail a different thread with your trolling.

"I cannot allow myself to potentially transmit the virus in our communities simply to play the sport that I love. If I am to take risks, I will do it caring for patients."

Quote:Twitter has removed a tweet that had been retweeted by President Donald Trump that falsely said that there was a cure for the coronavirus.


Late Monday night, Trump retweeted the tweet from an account with the handle “@stella_immanuel” that said, "Covid has cure. America wake up."

Twitter soon after removed the tweet and replaced it with a gray box that says, "This Tweet is no longer available."

A cure for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, doesn't exist and scientists have been working on developing both a range of treatments as well as vaccines. They and the Trump administration are racing to have a vaccine ready by the end of the year.


Twitter said early Tuesday morning, "Tweets with the video are in violation of our COVID-19 misinformation policy."


Trump also retweeted tweets defending the use of the drug Hydroxychloroquine, including one that accused Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, of misleading the public by dismissing the drug.


"I have not been misleading the public under any circumstances," Fauci responded on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday morning when asked for his reaction to Trump's retweets.


Fauci reiterated that the "overwhelming prevailing clinical trials" that have looked at the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine have indicated that it's "not effective" in treating the coronavirus.



This comes as Trump has recently attempted to take a more moderate approach to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Immanuel, a pediatrician and a religious minister, has a history of making bizarre claims about medical topics and other issues. She has often claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches"

"She alleges alien DNA is currently used in medical treatments, and that scientists are cooking up a vaccine to prevent people from being religious. And, despite appearing in Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress on Monday, she has said that the government is run in part not by humans but by “reptilians” and other aliens."
