    LOL ‘only’? Normally $390 but hey, making the equivalent of $35 an hour is a lot more than many make working. Still much less than I make. Not sure what planet you are on.

    I wouldn't know what to do with that much money.

    I have enough and I'm happy with that.

    Yet you can’t comprehend the concept that making the equivalent of $35 an hour on unemployment would be attractive to many that make less than that working. Fascinating.

    Stimulus check, what's that for, should have doubled it for workers, because unemployment takes too long, see guy just got it, oh but wait, it's good for grandma to get the Chinese masks and Gestapo Communist Manifesto Republican Party code enforcement coloring book approved crayon colors.

    Shove any other response. When the Republicans stop being commies telling me what size house I had to build in a pasture, what color it could be, and whether it could be on stilts in a watershed so I had to worry when six inches of water covered an entire acre of front yard right up to the door, maybe I'll feel like I live in a free country, but it isn't a free country because Republicans are just as much commies as the rest. Can't get that unemployment check without commie Republicans. Shove the response.

    Maybe the extra unemployment is compensation for taking away their right to go outside in a local Park, State park, beach...you know, compensation for them being treated like children who can't wash their hands and cover their pie holes with Chinese KN95 masks.

    The extra dough was for cash to be put into circulation if you don't like it, don't take it.

    No reason now to open schools, just wait till next year. Other than that, what we know is still not enough; wear masks, wash hands like a religious nut, go back to work.

    Maybe power air purifying masks for those over 55, that must work. Ford is making them now. The older you get the more stifling a mask is in summer. When I pull up to a stop sign, in Florida, if my visor isn't up it is a pain.

    And to work in homes and business's and anywhere else they are needed, none the less it demonstrates how incorrect your comment was.

    "Cash Flow" would be the dealer selling the used Harley Road Glide for $3000, to pay their bills, instead of keeping it on the lot for months, pushing it in and out and washing it, hoping to get $6000, and having a larger credit card bill, except this extra money isn't cash flow, it's all on credit.

    I do know they can't mail weed from Antarctica, by treaty, should someone accidently mail it there; very embarrassing... I guess weed dealers get no unemployment except were legal now.

    I have Uncle Bud's Hemp hand sanitizer, the alcohol free version to use between the other alcohol based stuff, so nice soft hands not overly dry from alcohol.

    So on one hand you complain about the shutdown. And on the other you complain the government is doing too much to protect you. That is called talking out of both sides of your mouth.

    Ever considered going into car sales?

    Guess what, going back to work will not be voluntary. When the government aid stops and workers are called back, you go back to work or your income will stop.
