Brian Kilmeade Whines About Payroll Loans; 'People Don't Want Those Jobs Back'
The not-too-bright Fox and Friends host says a stupid thing, again.
By Frances Langum
"Brian Kilmeade is an idiot. But you knew that." part infinity, transcript via Media Matters:
BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): The other thing is, if you're trying to help out small business, which restaurants are, don't make them take 75% of that grant money and put it towards employees, many of which don't want those jobs back because they're better off on unemployment. Let them pay their rent, let them somehow survive and keep the lights on and maintain their equipment. So they've got to be flexible when they go into these banks and get these grants, the money that we set aside as taxpayers to keep these restaurants alive when they come back.
Brian Kilmeade doesn't know that unemployment doesn't pay 100% of wages and that being re-hired back to your old job is better and may make the difference between a small business staying in business or failing.
He should have lunch up close with these people:

Maybe this asshole and his other idiots looking like bobble heads sitting on some white couch, and making millions just practicing to be assholes, swae they must have cue cards in the camera zone that says be more assholite (new word) , maybe they should do something nice like what Tyler Perry did................but that will not happen, they have no fucking empathy, and they can't stand it when people get something back from the money they put into the government so that it works for them..........................fucking libertarians POS's.....................

I wish we had some Dems with real fire speaking some truth, about Trump, about our lopsided economic system, about the greed and corruption that permeates our culture.
No, not Bernie Sanders. We need a new generation of progressive firebrands that can get past the mainstream media.
Be not afraid.

If your benefits are otherwise at 1 cent, you're already at "living wage".
If I went for unemployment, I'd get 44.6% of my gross pay in unemployment benefits where I live because my pay is so far above minimum wage and benefits are not so much means tested as means tempered--my income so exceeds maximum benefits that I could have lower gross pay and still get the same weekly dollar amount.
With the added $600/week, that's 96% of my gross pay. I never see my gross pay amount, if only because of payroll taxes.
If I made $20k less per year, $40k/year, I'd still get the same weekly unemployment benefits. But with the added $600 I'd be receiving 120% of my gross pay.
That's only good through 7/31/20, then the $600 unemployment stipend ends.
