A Record 3.3 Million Americans Filed for Unemployment
- Thread starter RDreamer
- Start date
Trump telling folks to work again is only to up the number
I imagine a lot, the pop of the USA is 330 mil
Eagerly awaiting stimulus bill#2: electric boogaloo, after we quickly exhaust the meager funds allocated for regular people in this week's bill.

On the bright side, maybe this crisis will frontload the job losses in the beginning of the recession, and recover somewhat quickly. Unemployment peaked nearly a year after the 2008 financial crisis happened, if I remember correctly. That was a slow bleedout. This time the job numbers could begin climbing around May or June.
And there's the reason, clear as day that Trump is pushing hard to reopen the economy...even if millions die.
Corporations don't have to pay their employees or their rent! /s
That number alarms me only because the conservatives are going to obtain the worst response from it.
Is it a sign people need their wellbeing assured prior to work conditions? Yes, but I imagine we'll see a conservative effort to grind more people into COVID death because stonks.
The number itself isn't problematic, it's a response to a pandemic. The issue with that number is the way we've manufactured society, because that means many of those people will be forced to suffer.

Don't have to spend money on workers if you aint got no workers. Thinking.jpg
Except this is going to lead into a recession that was already coming or as I like to call it, 08 recession part 2 because nothing was done to address the root causes of what happened in 08.
Worse since we still had things open and a workforce in 2008.
This is Great Depression 2.
I am consistently going to reiterate that heard immunity is inevitable in the Western hemisphere because capitalism values money over people.
Y'all have seen the bits already. Old middle-aged white men would rather die than unite in a community effort flatten the curve.
This is a key difference between the West and the East where Asian countries have everything under control already. It's all Africa would be really bad? Think again.

He'll just keep saying this is why we have to go back to work. He'll keep pressing that, and then blame the states for keeping the lockdowns that drag his perfect economy down.
Pretty much flat right now. But again things can change rapidly so who knows how the market will take it when we actually open.
Good joke. And afaik they still don't have language for covering COVID-19 treatment
