Yeah this went down hill fast.  Was supposed to be about exchange of information about loss of income and how to remedy it.

Yes it was. Til the "everybody can make it if they try hard none sense came in".

Texas has more debt than what? Again, in general states that have supply side economics (lower taxes, less government support) are less likely to have better debt to gdp ratios. Texas is an exception for a very specific reason which is about to crash now. They are very dependent on consumer tax. No tax on wages. So there will be a double hit to them. Texas has performed well because they have given great tax breaks to corporations which has bought in jobs, and they have a huge service base economic sector. Furthermore look at states that have strong supply side policies, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Kentucky until recently, Tennessee all are at the bottom of the debt list AND with very little safety net. So Texas is the beacon on the hill for so called conservatives now, but history says it wont last. 

So Texas is doing fine.  You scared me for a second.  Thanks.

 You chose to dice the country up into little groups.  I was just trying to follow along.

I was simply using an example. Not dicing the country into little groups.

The entire premise of your post was to put different states into different groups.  But I’m glad you came to your senses.

My post was to point out being good at a job was not enough and there is a down side to capitalism as a rebuttal. Prior to my post there were statements about "serfs" , "If you dont have a good job then you simple are taking advantage of the american dream", "they said you would have a job about nursing", so on and so on, but for some reason you wanna try to call me out about "dicing up the country". It started waaay before I posted. Seems like you are butt hurt about something I stated. Sorry if the truth hurts... well so be it.

Let the businesses fail, this is ridiculous that we have to bail out companies who are paying their CEOs an average pay of 271-1 worker ratio.  You're telling me these "genius CEOS" who are worth 271 times the average worker's pay can't figure out how to save enough money for a 2 month shutdown without crying for bailouts?  

You must work at a bank.  Sounds really familiar.  It is totally disgusting the greed at work in these companies.

Today, Governor Roy Cooper announced that the first payments for the unemployment claims related to coronavirus will begin going out this week. 

Quote

The Division of Employment of Security expects to receive guidance from the federal government later this week about how to implement the changes, including the change that allows for an additional $600 in unemployment benefits. The state expects those payments to begin approximately two weeks after that guidance is provided.

People should be glad Roy Cooper got the reins over Mr. “You don’t have to wash your hands”
