Another Stimulus Check?

[ousdahl]

It’s a nuanced problem with no simple solution, for sure.

other than taking care of myself and my loved one's, i feel strongly about very little.

go figure

though, your posting history indicates otherwise

or are you just trolling?

I see these memes like, it would cost 600 billion or something to just end homelessness in Merica. Or hunger. Or whatever.

And considering how many hundreds of billions each of those assholes is worth, they could single handedly end homelessness with little more than a drop from the bucket of their wealth.

but they don’t.

There's an estimated 550,000+ homeless in the US. $600 million works out to a little under $1,100 per person. Not sure what homeless situation you're fixing for $1,100 bucks but it's not permanent.

Million, Billion......what’s the difference?

i need some idea's on how I can help. tell me what you are doing to help the homeless. minus championing the cause on the social media's.

what are you actually doing for any of the causes you feel strongly about?

He is doing quite a bit for one thing he feels strongly about- owning libs, or trying hard. Very hard!

... Surveys suggest why some can’t or won’t go back to work. Millions of adults say they aren’t working for fear of getting or spreading Covid-19. Businesses are reopening ahead of schools, leaving some parents without child care. Many people are receiving more in unemployment benefits than they would earn in the available jobs. Some who are out of work don’t have the skills needed for jobs that are available or are unwilling to switch to a new career.
Hiring has been robust recently, despite the labor shortfall. U.S. employers added 916,000 jobs in March, according to the Labor Department, and economists project that the April jobs report, due out Friday, will show employers added 1 million more. Weekly unemployment claims fell to 498,000 last week, a new low since the pandemic began...

Maybe a silver lining to the pandemic will be that it stimulates wage growth, but it might also just be that employers play chicken with benefits running out, or personal economic concerns finally outweighing health or childcare or other concerns.

Here’s another thought I just saw. I haven’t researched or not familiar or whatever but:

[ousdahl]

I, for one, plan to never retire. Gonna go back to being a fishing guide somewhere, and just work til I drop dead.

When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.

... After the last downturn, Fed surveys showed employers grousing about worker shortages in 2012, when the unemployment rate was above 8%. When compensation began to rise in earnest several years later, workers flooded back to the labor market.
“What we saw was that labor supply generally showed up,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said last month. “In other words, if you were worried about running out of workers, it seemed like we never did.”...
