fair nuff

its also not a lot of money

Wasn't it Cicero who said something to the effect of republics die once the public catches on that they can vote themselves free money?

for example, my mother was on unemployment for a time

it was a well paying job, around 20 bucks an hour or something

How do you handle incapacity for those who can't return to work and how is it decided if some one is incapacitated?

the weekly income from unemployment in the first time period was around 340 bucks

Unemployment: Paying people NOT to work

I think we tried that during the Dust Bowl. Didn't work out too well

Unemployment: Paying people to try to find a job in the similar bracket before shoving them down the ladder

@4SidedTriangle what kind of incapacitated?

Unemployment: incentive to create business

broken bones, brain damage, what?

say you end up a quadroplegic @Spooky Melon

It's practically a meme at this point of people just lying and claiming they were looking for work but didn't

okay, but the unemployment money usually **ends**, and its less then half of what you were being paid before

maybe not in commiefornia

@Marushia Dark who is this WE?

The U.S.

And UK

Govt paid farmers NOT to grow crops cuz the surplus was driving down prices, and then they wondered why there were so many people starving

when?

this is america

nobody starves.

maybe in the fucking dust bowl

Lmao

Google breadlines during the Depression

Same thing happened in France due to the EU if I remember correctly

Y’all should read more on the Great Depression

thats the **fucking depression**

and still

It was all a socialist experiment gone wrong

barely anyone starved in the depression

less the starvation

FDR has no clue what to do so he did everything in a panic

Fun fact, the U.S. had six major depressions (not just recessions) prior to the Great Depression and all of them (including the Great Depression) can be traced back to govt tampering with the money supply in some way.

he gave a good effort though

i can respect that

might not have been the best thing

but it certainly wasnt the worst

FDR actually made the Depression WORSE, even causing a depression WITHIN the Great Depression
