Is it really worth locking down if this will send people into far deeper depths of poverty than one could ever imagine?

Man what

6.6M filed for unemployment

Sharpest unemployment spike in American history, yet ktt is clueless

Why did I get kicked out of gng??

It's just logical that stricter lockdowns are beneficial to economies but now it's not even a theory anymore, it's proven by the data that has been gathered so far. States that acted the quickest are doing the best right now.

Dragging this s*** out will make it a year long nightmare that will destroy the economy for much longer than the 08 recession. Will increase unemployment, deaths, depression, everything.

What you think will happen ?

Do americans get money when losing a job?

that's just standard practice for them at this point

If u quit no if u got fired yes

Actually there are certain limits, if u quit yes u can still get unemployment

I don't know every specific of the system but if it's anything like Canada's, it depends on the reason for being fired. And in some rare occasions you can quit and get it.

No, that's why is not meant to be a long term solution.
Without the lockdown, the health system would collapse even more and the deaths would multiply x10. It's a f***ed up situation every country is facing

In germany every bum gets 80% of what they made 1 year after being fired

then regular , rent etc. paid and 450 € for food and stuff

A lot of people on lockdown are still acting stupid.

Oh, so why @Hero acting like ppl will starve?

This amount of unemployment is unprecedented, insane really

There is nothing we can do, this will dry up unemployment budget in the blink of an eye.

This is literally a horribly unfathomable moment in time

My old boss found out I was bipolar so he brought me to his office and was like I need to know are u gonna come in next week with an axe and kill everyone?

Quit and I got unemployment

He works at some shipyard.

He makes good pizzas though

I'm actually scared for the first time

So sad. I really feel bad for people not working right now.

Don’t be a p****

Wtf is wrong with that ignorant dumbass

I would've played the system too

Bro doesnt the us literallly have trillions of debt?

Bet they can add some more to that
