Hold on - Stop the presses ! ! ! I'm mad

Jack Matyas · 04-02-2020, 11:39 AM

Many subjects have been covered lately since this COVID-19 crap has started but no one has talked about unemployment insurance - are all you guys (and gals) too proud to talk about it ? Well lets start - in Pennsylvania many,many businesses have been forced to close - it's legal to sell beer and wine but you can't sell a car .Yesterday the lawn guys were at my house to 'weed and feed' my lawn but my car lot is closed .Go figure.It's ok to get an oil change but my dentist is closed .

In my almost six decades of employment here I've paid unemployment taxes in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey and in all that time I've collected once - and it lasted ONE DAY.Yesterday I told that to someone who replied that the money should go to people who need it - and I told that person to leave. .Now as a senior the state has forced me to close and sign up .And lay off employees .This would be better if I could go race but even that has been taken away. After almost two weeks of sitting in my office bored I can't stand it - I want to open the window and shout out that famous movie line - "I'm mad as Hell ........you know the rest.

All that plus I'm tired of sitting down to dinner every night and listening to our Presidents 'Gloom and Doom' on TV. When will it end ?????

Yes- My company is a corporation - I am President and an employee who pays unemployment taxes to the state and according to my accountant I did the right thing by filing for compensation benefits .That said I have not received any money yet .

same boat here Jack-signed up last night. While we are technically "open" for repairs, NO ONE is driving their cars, so NO ONE needs to repair their cars and NO ONE is spending money at the moment-3 oil changes last week.
As an aside, tell me you went to the sba website and signed up for the "forgiveable" 10k loan! If you didn't, do it now! it is aimed at guys like us.....

start here https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs...ter-assistance

Unfortunately, with the Sheeples doing the best to show that they are willing to comply with the wishes of politicians, and follow a Socialist/Communist format, this will NEVER end.. they will come up with a new wave of Covid-19, or even another virus to put the Country in a deep freeze, and another Great Depression..

I'm hoping that most already know that kids will not be returning to school until maybe September, MAYBE.. all that have stopped going to work probably will not have jobs to return to.. many companies in NJ that were considering downsizing, are now downsized, without taking heat from former employees..

WHAT MAKES ME MAD is all these folks now believe that by isolating, they have protected themselves.. but when they walk into a supermarket, they have no idea who walked in or out before them.. or if those people just left a germ cloud from a cough or sneeze.. they believe that the germs adhere to their masks, and gloves, but it covers everything they are wearing.. to be safe, they need to immediately disrobe, thoroughly shower, and maybe even set their cars on fire.. they have been provided with a false sense of security by those speaking for our government..

There are meds that have been proven WORLD WIDE to be effective, but we can't have them.. WHY IS THAT??.. they are now estimating 100K to 250K will die.. when we hit those numbers, is that when it stops, or is that when the second virus kicks in??

Take a look at the time period between the Spanish Virus of 1918 and the Great Depression of 1929.. anything seems familiar to this nonsense??.. everything was on an upswing after the virus, we changed Presidents, and BOOM, the Great Depression..

If you haven't noticed, I'm not buying into the hype.. I'll agree that China has engaged the World in biological warfare, and the virus does exist, but not to the extent that is being reported.. one guy got thrown off of a Big Media program for saying that the majority of those dying, would have died from their underlying conditions by year's end.. could that be true??..

If and when we reach the other side, will everyone realize that they forfeited several freedoms to comply with a political game plan??.. will people realize everything that was taken from them??.. no schools, no churches, no family time, no sports, no bars, no restaurants, no groups big or small, no talking, no touching, etc, etc, etc.. AND NO RACING!!!.. all because they were placed in fear??.. and that they will allow it to happen again and again, at the whims of politicians??.. no one has to listen, but just take a look around...

HEY JACK!!.. see what happens when you kick open the RANT DOOR??.. thanks, buddy, I needed that.. now I'll go back to LEISURELY working on my stuff.. I'll just continue to do my thing, cause I believe I already had this crap in January.. and now there are claims if you had it, you're immune.. HEY SHEEPLES, should we be listening to that, and going back to work??.. IMAGINE THAT!!!

Jack,
You might be disappointed on your uc claim. I too am an officer in my corporation and was denied on the grounds that I was the decision maker for the corporation. Ruled ineligible after an appeal. Please let me know if you receive a different out come from the Commonwealth of Pa.
