In THe NEWS... Corona

The money doesn't need to be "free" essentially, it needs to be accessible. Give people work for money, those who has worked all life make sure they don't have to work for money till they depart.
 
It is $600/wk in addition to what one collects from the state unemployment (their state) falls under a different program.
The really interesting part is covering the self-employed as well (who never paid into it-again falls under the PUA (I believe it ends in July)

"PUA provides support for workers not traditionally eligible for unemployment benefits (self-employed, independent contractors, workers with limited work history, and others) who are unable to work as a direct result of the coronavirus public health emergency. PUA will provide for lost wages, including an additional $600/week for each week of lost wages
Being self employed I filed a claim 6 weeks ago (don't make the rules, just stay in my lane)and have yet to receive anything and am going back to work next week!
(haven't received the fed $1200 either :( )

I don't believe that greed drives all of technology, but perhaps enough of it to make your statement partially true. The current state of "progress" is precarious at best. With global warming, progress is transforming into mass destruction--of atmosphere, of ocean, of species, of Antartica, etc.

In short, greed will drive us to extinction. I don't think our species is capable of changing enough to save the planet, to recognize the reality of what's happening. Take this pandemic: people have been in complete denial about the virus, and have gone out with their guns to protest the loss of their liberty. If that is not a twisted and pathetic distortion of reality, I'll eat my hat. To go out and protest your right to catch covid 19 is about as irrational as you can get. It's also funny how the pandemic has the racists and anti-Semites crawling out of the woodwork to express their lust for destruction. trump gave them permission to express their real feelings just as he has, so why not?
 
Totally agree with you on that statement alltatup about the pandemic and people in denial. Got some ignorant new next door neighbors who mocked me about social distancing. Their stupidity. Freedom of expression and views be it Rep., Demo, or lib it happened with Clinton, Bushes, Obama and our current Pres. so don't just go there with Trump. I can still remember the physical threats and intimidation used by former Pres. campaigns in the past that were published and they were openly using threatening in your face holding batons.
This pandemic is now being used as a political blame game by both parties. I trust the science of research those who's job is too find out how we treat this virus and slow it down. Certain parties want this economy to fail and be dependent of big govt. to bail them out give them paychecks, keep them in food lines and crush what the USA stood for. We are not a socialist nation and the majority of hard working Americans feel the same way. My immigrant Italian relatives worked for citizenship and hard farming life. Todays false promises of free this and free that by certain Pres. campaigners is ridiculous. They said it and real true patriots didn't by it.
 
That's pretty good news for the states. CT has seen a consistent drop in license sales before this also. They opened the fishing season almost a month early to give people something to do. Turkey season is going strong now and it's been insane at the shop. We've sold more calls and decoys this year then the last four combined.
 
GreenState that makes 2 of us.... in 53 yrs I have never collected unemployment and have worked two jobs to keep thing flowing... frankly, I’d almost like to try a few months off with PAY!!... gettin’ old and tired. Normal retirement should have been a few yrs ago...but me, nope....still busting my ass
 
Can not speak of hunting (Short of killing a coyote here and there) I do not hunt per say. However I do fish, and I'm on the water a lot, fishing has changed over the years, fish have moved and patterns have changed due to the climate change (Yes its real).
Lots of folks with new boats on the water, mostly pleasure but a few fishing (Less than 26 foot boats) makes a lot of wonder where the heck these folks are coming from and as stated above it has increased drastically in the last couple of years.
 
I agree? I agree with you alltatup. There are folks who are altruistic about their motives, as far as the profit Open source coding. Tesla. The dudes who 3D printed a mask of some sort. Greed is not getting remunerated for your work.
Expression is personal. I prefer interpretive dance on my balcony, with Tibetan bells, while wearing a neon orange thong. Don't judge me or I'll judge you and your shirt.
I can't believe we agree on something.
 
Getting warmed up to express myself alltatup

alltatup I wasn't into that much specificity of greed as driving force for all technology but what I meant was that human first wore leaves as clothes and lived in cave. It was the inconvenience which led to innovations. On a lighter note if we have had wings, we wouldn't have invented cars and trains and planes.(*writing while drinking RedBull*) So greed isn't necessarily bad but it becomes bad when it overrates the public good. May be here is where socialism comes!??

If you want to talk about what the current world is then it is a shitty world but this is where I defer with most people. I think and I believe that it is up to us to make it a better place. I mean I know I am going to die trying but if stupidity and evil has persistence then so do I.

You can't make yourself responsible for everyone. We have to play the hand we're dealt.
 
Anyone see 60 Minutes tonight.... all about subsidies paid to farms but if your an investor living in NYC, you can get the money without even getting dirty hands...and this is happening with hundreds of millions of dollars that the farm never sees
