Nope, just unemployment in California. In Massachusetts it is $3200 per month per person. Oh, and let us not forget they got six months, half a year $1200 per month even higher. Many people have been sitting on that with endless extensions since March, 2020. It is now June, 2021 and won't end up til September 2021.
Is it any wonder companies can't find low end workers? They are getting paid more to not work then they are worth actually working at fair market value.
I used to sleep with Big regularly and I only received 22 weeks of unemployment.....but that had nothing to do with the pandemic. It was because I left my job and the reason made me able to collect(unsafe work environment due to harrassment).

Do you think prog policies in CA could be the reason why you call America a "3rd world country"(Bigs penis)?
I said in 3rd world countries I have visited. Thailand, Mexico, Iraq, Jordan, most of Central America, etc... China I have not been to but many, many millions of people only make $800 (like in other developing countries) yet still manage to save by simply reusing everything and never spending cash unless it is absolutely unavoidable.
Yet in the US the "poor" use credit to buy new cars and fill their government subsidized apartments with loads of crap also bought on credit then why that they are broke. If they stopped borrowing and defaulting then they wouldn't be poor. Your average American could learn to live on a whole lot less but they'd have to learn about the difference between a need and a want which most people seem unable to do.
When you stop constantly paying most of your money to a bank to pay for things you really didn't need then you'd be amazed how much money you free up to invest. Yet half of Americans supposedly can't pay a $400 bill if they had to and less than 20% know how to write a family budget.
