So the US is giving their citizens $1200. What are other countries doing ?

>hey mom look I know buzzwords!
explain how 1200 once is better than 2k/month

kek cope more

here in Germany: free healthcare, financial support if lose my job, corporation support with finances, so they dont fire people.
1200 dollars? Im impressed ..

The US is bribing citizens $1200 to ignore how shitty their lives were / will continue to be.

I heard that it's going to take months for the Trump Bux to get here.

Israel got $3500 per person this year, courtesy of fanatical Christian Americans who seriously think Jesus will come back riding a flying horse and waving a fucking sword

>mfw Trump is killing the Post Office so he doesn't have to send out checks

Like a parent telling their child they can play the xbox all night if they stop throwing a fit in public.

>Israel got $3500 per person this year

+ A jar of foreskin

don't take the bait, he knows his 1200 is fucked up and does nothing

UK for 3 months at least (can be extended) is paying furloughed employees to stay at home and not work for the company to save their jobs, 80% of their wage is paid by the government up to the value of £2500 per month.

This is to ensure that no business has to pay out or let go people because of lack of business.

$1200 is, to be blunt, not that good.

in the event of me losing my job, the gub'mint pays 80% of my wages until this all blows over

I'm in the UK - I've been working as a temp for a company for over a year now, if I get laid off will I receive furlough?

Isn't it a one time payment?

In japan its about $2,700 per month

>What are other countries doing ?
Giving furloughed employees 80% of their salary up to the equivalent of $3125 per month.

So this $1200...it's a one-off payment? Or is that per week?

Upon reflection, surely it can't be a one-off, considering how great and rich America is compared with my "3rd-world shithole"

>if I get laid off will I receive furlough?
Depends. If the company agreed to furlough you, yes. If not, then you need to claim Universal Credit...at least that's my understanding.

(continued to add)
I also believe it depends on your employed status. Are you temp through an agency that effectively employs you? or are you self-employed? or do you have your own limited company (as I do)?

cool. thanks bro

It's only a one time help. Americans average $55k a year.....

Sounds like a bribe, but at least their doing something for you...in Australia it's different, much different! But least instill got my job

Well, your FED just printed money out of the thin air so I guess you could give some to the people. But at the same time they are fucked if they indeed get sick, that 1200 wont cover the hospital bills and the other everyday life expenses.

Municipal government/bigger local companies has been buying gift cards from local businesses and selling them at a discount in order to keep the money flowing and help them not fall behind.

Yeah you need to ask to be furloughed by your company. They have to apply for the grant to pay you. But you cannot work for them if they do this.

Some companies have been getting grants and still making their employees work for them, essentially stealing money from the government to pay their workers for their 35-40 hrs of work.

However being a temp is dodgy grounds right now, technically you could be on a 0 hour contract which isn't covered.

If you do end up on UC know that from end of this month people are getting about another £100 on top of their benefits. But that isn't ideal.

Again ask your company if they can furlough you if you feel like you will be stopping work due to this. In fact if you are working then that must mean you are working in care or food. Everything else should be closed.

Ironically, Australia and America are like brothers. Well, the United States at least. Very similar beginnings. As in English colonies.

nothing different because i didnt fucking fuck up my life like you.

I'll ask about furlough. we've shut for a week BC Corona and my manager told everyone to work from home but he turned to me like 'no need to worry about working from home, we'll talk next week' so I think this is it

I work in manufacture, we make life rafts and shit. MoD says we're essential which is bs but hey ho

You must be so full of sadness

I'll ask about furlough. we've shut for a week BC Corona and my manager told everyone to work from home but he turned to me like 'no need to worry about working from home, we'll talk next week' so I think this is it

I work in manufacture, we make life rafts and lifesaving shit. MoD says we're essential which is bs because we can't even ship the stuff we're making but hey ho

Thought was 3 weeks minimum?

It's not a gift. You're getting it back from the tax you paid earlier.

investing in cheap bear and cigarettes so i can sell at 700x as much stock when it peaks.

2000/month
Free Healthcare
Free public transportation
Reduced interest in all banks
No late rental pay fees
Salary raises for anybody who is still working.

Idk man we're pretty fine.

I'd say we're more like reluctant cousins hahah...but I see what's happening on the news over there and I'm afraid for you cuz...stay safe

Yeah get that in before end of next week, no idea how you can work from home if your are in manufacturing, that sounds weird.

If you are furloughed and the virus continues to rampage, you have 3 months knowing you are fine. Can be extended.

I didn't mention a minimum, I said 3 months at least if it continues, but if it extends beyond 3 months they will extend the furlough. Well they said they would.

Yes.

Up tp 2500
That’s like 1 paycheck

orange man better give me my fucking trumpbux.

Per Month.

So far 3 months of pay up to £7500 is covered.

We have unemployment insurance,were I live $583 a week plus $600 a week in temporary bonus bucks

LOL, it's not a free $1200. It's advance on next year's tax refund. You're gonna have to pay it back.

Hey, it’s either give all citizens a UBI until the crisis subsides, or give citizens a $1200 check while in the meantime building a cash pipeline from the Federal Reserve to Wall Street so that the public can bailout corporations who lost everything when their stock buyback schemes blew up in their faces. I think we made the right decision.

Dollars signs preceded the number, faggot.

Oh, we're bailing out companies too, not just paying salaries

I was thinking the same, mine is giving the equivalent of 1600~1700$ a month, paid weekly.

Relevant answer americunt. Enjoy your virus and retarded president.

Sorry, we must make more in America
My gross is over $6000 a month
Net is around $4400

That's nice, where from?

What’s your tax rate?

Kek.
Your life must be hell. All that delicious bratwurst and finest beer.
I pity you, I really do

This is the dumbest shit ever. Not only is it not enough, but it's been proven time and time again that if you give poor people a big chunk of cash at once they'll spend it on bullshit rather than rent or needed items.
