A single mother of three children, Sandra Bivin of Denver, Colorado, is now being forced to try to survive on $58 per week on unemployment since the $600 per week expanded unemployment benefits expired on 26 July.
It is not easy.
Before the pandemic hit, Bivin worked as a driver for Uber and Lyft ...
Why should Hollywood feel the need to step up? After all...Maybe Hollywood can step up? Oh wait that's their money and virtual signaling they care while wearing a mask is good enough.
I guess even though she's free, she's still a slave...
People never talk about inflation any more. When I was a much younger man, it was a point of discussion often. We have been in an aggressive inflatory period for the last 13 years, and it is only going to get steeper as we move forwardShe also worked part time accounting.
just goes to show most of the wages are not up to par with growth of assets (real estate and stocks) since 2008.
by 2009 the market was on its way to what analysts called in 2019 a ten year bull run.
people living paycheck to paycheck stretched to having to work jobs like Uber/Lyft to make ends meet?
there is something inherently wrong with the way this system runs.
I'm not in accounting but I like things to add up. How does doling our all the crap (including the little things like a $5 Starbucks coffee or $10 Philz coffee) to people who on average, make $50-60k per person gross??
we're looking at this all wrong.
pandemic sucks. Couldn't control that.
the lack of savings people have? Controllable.
clearly the outputs we expect people to be picking up doesn't support the wages we dole out. And, thus credit is greatly accelerated and things like layaways for a $50 shirt at urban outfitters brought back.
All front page of the websites. Less portraying opinions as facts thanks.Not even the media is doing much reporting on the

The $600 just came about because so many states have ancient computer systems and couldn't handle varying the extra money for each applicant. But yeah, the whole point of the extra money was to cover your lost income so that you would stay home. I think that now 5 months in, where we all have access to masks etc, there is a difference between not having job to go back to yet, and just deciding to stay home because you can. Example: If the $600 came back, I could as an Uber driver just decide to stay home again, but there's no need for me to actually stay home - there's plenty of trips available in my market. And at what point do you tell people to accept that their former job is gone and that they just need to go get a new one?I don't understand the $600 being too much money 🤷🏻♂ Wasn't that whole point ??? To pay you enough that you would be willing to stay home and not spread the super deadly virus 🦠????? Now we realize the virus is weak AF and so the narrative switches to lazy outcasts not willing to work.
I stayed home and took the money because $750 was what I averaged every week on Lyft. Take away what I spend on gas and maintenance , it was a no brainer...stay home and stop the spread.
I always knew I'd be going back to gig work when things mellowed out. I saved close to 10k. I'm currently awaiting the final stimulus and then I will start back up with deliveries. Just saving the miles on my car while I can . I put 60K miles on my newer car doing lyft in less than 18 months. It was a rip off .
I was done with rideshare once the masks were required. I cancelled my commercial insurance and here we are ... a week later it's all shutting down anyway. I'm as concerned as all of you! Uber bought Postmates so you know that app will get worse. It's not looking good.
I really don't understand the Incels, lol. Have you looked around and seen the types of people that have found partners?? There's literally someone out there for anyone. Especially with all the dating apps. If you can't find someone, it's definitely YOU.GOOD TO HEAR FROM THE INCEL MOVEMENT

But there aren't enough jobs to go around because we didn't take care of the virus. That made this job losses permanent. People shouldn't have to starve until they're able to find something else. If Congress was really serious about making sure people could work, they would handle the virus and invest in programs where people can retrain and reskill. But they rather give corporations welfare benefits so here we are.The $600 just came about because so many states have ancient computer systems and couldn't handle varying the extra money for each applicant.

Nah, those eyebrows are totally normal.She is going too HELL. She epitomizes everyhing that is WRONG with HELLYWOOD. So strange an EVIL
For the life of me I don't understand women like this. Do they honestly think that this looks good???Nah, those eyebrows are totally normal. View attachment 501300
👍🏻👍🏻They had no idea I had this car, let alone anything else,
This is how I feel when I see that (race to not be named) lady standing near Bart station with two little kids and an infant in toll, panhandling-especially when there are programs above the usual-like WIC.How the hell is she getting only $58 a month?? Somethings wrong there. Plus who has 3 kids on a rideshare drivers salary??? Mistakes were made there.... I get the max $430 a month ($357 after taxes) and I'm single with no kids... wow

For a lot of people, 600/week is more than they usually take home. So the ones that were called back didn't want to go back, and the ones that weren't, are not motivated to work for less money than staying home. I have a neighbor in this sit. Her place of work didn't call everyone back. She could get another job, but no reason to if she is getting paid more to do nothing.I don't understand the $600 being too much money 🤷🏻♂ Wasn't that whole point ???

Her husband could have died. Why assume bad choices?These articles are always dripping with people that made bad decisions in life. "Single mother of three" "grandmother with sole custody of 11 year old" etc etc.
Some people just make awful choices, and then wonder why they land in the position they are in.
The $600 made sense in California and NY where the cost of living is out of control. The other states could of been given less .For a lot of people, 600/week is more than they usually take home.
