The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

nm
I’m being reminded right now that I don’t do well with too much caffeine.
had an evaluation screening (not sure if that’s the correct term) for a job the day before yesterday. fucked up one part badly. still hope I get positive feedback at the beginning of June cause it’s a pretty fucking decent job.
then some course shit popped up and I’m trying to avoid it cause it’s a dead-end course. not feeling to great cause of that and the caffeine doesn’t help either.

other than that not much.
one of the manga sources I use made some stupid changes and it fucks with getting new chapters. now I’m transferring the chapters I already downloaded from my microsd to my pc but it takes forever.
then I’ll have to download them again to my microsd from a new source.

so overall not a good day but my brain probably blows everything out of proportion, so…yeah.

how’s everyone else?

Unemployment finally got sorted out. Just need to wait for the email to be able to recertify for the back pay and I’ll be swimmin’ in it :moneybag:

Also, am gonna order some more cigars because there’s an epic deal going on atm.

Yep. Did manage to find a new job. Will be installing AI powered cameras in stores for better out of stock detection. Just need to try and survive until that starts. Just trying to avoid the situation of being homeless and jobless again because that really sucked

ye bunch people gonna get fucced after this

least in my state so far bunch of even pretty ritzy good name restauraunts and shit are shutting down, but reality of inner city high rent and shit, and only making like 25% normal money for like 3 months straight

if goes into the whole no business can be open until theres a vaccine would be like only things left are fast food, walmart target and amazon lol

Im sure those companies wouldnt complain XD

FUCK YEAH! I’m really happy for you!

That’s concerning but you seem to be a tough one, so I’m sure you’ll manage.

might after shit gets real when people find out like 50% of the population cant get a job at all and are supposed to just sit at the homeless shelters and die

“bunch” of people are already getting fucked over this. no work or risking getting infected. if you have to pay for the treatment then you might as well call it quits cause how are you going to pay for it anyway with that health care system?
and from what I’ve seen the rent eats up a significant part of your income in the US anyway. so how the hell are you gonna afford rent, food and the few things that are left after adopting to the situation?

amazon warehouses, big stores, etc are all the perfect place to get infected. I think on L1T news they mentioned that amazon even refuses to say how many of their workers tested positive. that’s insane.

Its gonna be a really interesting job. My only complaint is that my job is to put other people out of a job

Ye. Just following my life mantra at this point
This too shall pass

Ye. At the highest unemployment rate since basically ever currently. Doesnt help that we are just now entering the age of automation as robotics and AI really start to take hold. Not to mention stuff like tigher controls on global warming are gonna push companies to cut employees first before they start cutting profit (real issue right there)

nah treatment for 85-95% of people that contract it would be nothing, maybe a 250$ office visit to dr to tell you to stay home call us if it gets worse

people past that possibly bunch cause ventilator and have to stay for days

the people on unemployment getting bunch like 3500$ a month or something

the people at walmart whatever the ones extra fucced basically get jack lol

then afterwards probs massive tax hike for anyone not poor as hell, but also not rich lol

That kinda sucks. But how much can one really care in these times? You need a home and food too.

Wouldn’t hurt if I thought more like that too. I’ll try it (if my brain lets me).

That shit’s expensive af. Stay at home and risk getting laid off anyway or keep working and risk infecting others (and then collapse, cause working with the flu ain’t funny either).

how??? work your ass off, earn peanuts and barely make it through the month or be a neet and swim in cash? that doesn’t even make any sense.
if I had to pay rent I’d definitely not have enough cash until the end of the month JUST for rent and food.

The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class . - George Carlin

although that ignores the struggle of the poor.

ye thanks dr and insurance billing scams :stuck_out_tongue:

but atleast around me thats the cost if you pay 100% out of pocket with no insurance at all

they made stimulus bux get 600 extra week becuase of corona ontop of normal unemployment which isnt that much, but combined is like double or more a normal cashier or whatever would be making

and expanded it to include people that didnt have a job long enough/have a job that paid into the unemployment insurance thing etc. like if you just uber or something as a contract worker you could get this now

although you still cant outright quit and get the money, business has to have closed, or you got sick etc. unless you have medical condition, or close relative maybe

is how usually goes here anyways lol, like of the 2 classes 1 is the old rich white people asthetic, and the other is the we uplift minorities and stand for poor people

but the stand for poor people are the people in power where you have to be rich to barely live at all, and even when they have entire state control for decades in a row uncontested, they cant figure out how to raise property taxes or whatever on billionaire mansions and shit

so would probably end up being if you so poor you get government assistance from programs for free health care, food stamps etc then you wouldnt get taxed more

and if they raised tax on everyone else rich would still get out of it with fancy tax lawyer shit

yeah, and with insurance it would be like $300 per month and only $199.99.

so you’re still better off right now with wellfare and stay at home than work and be at risk of getting infected at work?

shit’s fucked up.

why would the rich tax themselves? lol

lol maybe

mines poor people one so not too bad, although it went up assload like 52>200~250 a month depending on what i got but then id be like 10~50$ for office visit and cover bunch of shit if did expenisve one

unless they make assload basically, other than prob get fucced on taxes next year somewhat, but would make way more money now then they would lose later

think its more the rich politicians get to keep their money but rich business people cant keep theirs least what the democrats randomly spout random absurd shit like 75% of your income if you make more then 10m a year

like bezos is gonna stay in the us instead of having a private island teraformed and a giant castle erected ontop of it and pay basically nothing in tax(or just move almost anywhere else in the world lol) for less money than they would tax him every year

but so far seems like they would never even actually propose/vote for such a thing seriously anyways
