You don't get 900 a week from unemployment....if your making less than that's to begin with you would be getting like 200 a week
In Pa., the max benefit is $573. Where I worked, a USWA steel mill, we also had S.U B. (Supplemental Unemployment Benefits) of around $180. A union negotiated thing that would deplete in 6 months if in deep recession. It actually drops to 40% when the fund gets low until it totally depletes.

The federal stimulus add on is $600.

So you'd get $1353 a week where I worked if laid off right now off the vast majority of jobs there. Which isn't what you would make working considering all the forced overtime and 4 crew/21 shift scheduling.

So $900 isn't that big a deal depending on what state you're in and whether you're a union worker or not.

The average worker there makes $80,000 a year. And considering the environment and shit you had to breathe there, they got a bargain considering their titanium coils sell for $100,000 each.

Everybody doing factory work in the 21st century gets OT jammed down their throat.

They eliminated the laborers who filled in decades ago. Now, if somebody is on vacation on your job, you work several days of 12's. That's why they make big money there.

I retired 5 years ago, so I have free time to spare now. They asked me if I wanted to go back and train people, I told them nobody ever trained me and they can figure it out like I did. Lol.

im still a faaaar ways off from retirement if im ever able too thats why when i hit 30 i started thinkin of buyin a house if i dont have rent when im old i may be able to do it
And we're still wondering if Neo's inbox will be empty when he gets home from work?

Be happy you have a job ;-).

Being laid off used to be OK once in a while when I was your age, but you wouldn't have much to do in a country wide lockdown. I think it would suck now.

You should still look into it and wrap that $8 grand into it. I went from 6.1% to 3.5%, added an additional $16,000 to the refi to cover other shit I needed to pay off, and my monthly mortgage payment went down close to $800/month.

As far as unemployment goes @tangerinegreen555 nailed it right on the head. Extra 600/wk. I was maxed out at 573/wk. Unemployment only last 26 weeks/ 6months on full weekly benefits. Once you pull it all its gone for the rest of your start year. I heard the state was declared federal emergency and that ups it to 39 weeks. But as of yesterday the state's UC website still did not communicate that.

As far as nudes go my inbox is as empty as my heart.
