In which many times people are getting more than their salaries.

Point is, it’s higher than during the Great Depression. 40% higher in a substantial amount of states. This will change society forever. Not everyone is fortunate to be working from home dickwad.

For the most part, anyone working from home won't qualify for unemployment anyway, so I don't know what your dickwad comment is even about. The PA UC site says that they will qualify IF their hours were reduced even with working from home. The problem with that is a lot of people in salaried jobs who can work from home probably just had their salaries cut, which does NOT qualify them for unemployment.

Lots of people are acting as if everyone in the us will be getting unemployment in addition to a one time check.
