Not to get too personal but cant your wife claim unemployment
my understanding is the Feds kick in an additional $600/wk on top of the state amount for 39 weeks



Yes she has claimed unemployment.  It is a small percentage of her normal salary, and it has taken many weeks to kick in (she hasn't even been paid yet), they're completely overwhelmed which is understandable.

We're not going to starve, we're blessed.  But it's nothing like actually being employed.

But also, the extra Federal benefits only last into July, not 39 weeks-- and that's only if the Federal money lasts that long which I doubt it will-- so I'm not sure where you got that number?

I know some teenagers who were working 15 hours per week at minimum wage who are now collecting $600 per week. I guess the downside is there is no place to go to spend it though.

Honestly, if I’m a 16 yo working part time I kinda get it.  I ride the gravy train for a couple of months and then worry about it afterwards. But these people who may have been making $450-500 per week now getting a little extra from unemployment on top of their stimulus need to think long term.  If your job wants you back  you should go because that extra unemployment runs out in July, but I think a lot of people are making short sighted decisions.

Do I think this virus "escaped from a lab?" No, that's ridiculous nonsense and a quick Google search will bring up quite a few peer reviewed scientific articles on why that isn't the case.

What Google search term did you use? I used "Did covid-19 start in Wuhan lab?"
On the first page, 4 said no, 3 said yes, and 3 said maybe. That seems a far cry from ridiculous nonsense.

I'm really not sure where this "39 weeks" stuff is coming from?  The Federal backstop for unemployment runs out in July.  And the funds are most likely going to run out even before that.

Above and beyond that, plenty of people haven't even received a dime.  Including my wife.  She filed weeks ago, still not a dime in the bank account.

Her previous employer, in line for PPP loans, also not a dime.

So.. I guess... don't believe everything you read in the news.
