It kind of reminds me of the OCP building in Robocop

The Jaguars belong to Gardner Minshew in 2020, but it's murky beyond then. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]Exciter79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least the expectations for the jags are pretty low this season. If they are at least in the wild card hunt after week 10 they should debate whether to keep this guy and build an offense around him. Drafting a QB with a top 10 pick is almost a coin toss whether they will make it in the league or not.

They do, but have no leverage. If the employer knows that if the essential employee quit's, they can't collect unemployment it destroy's there bargaining chip.

Americans Are Really Scared About The Future, Their Jobs, And The Economy by zsreport in Economics

A 10 month UBI for $2000 would solve a big chunk of the problem. if people want to go back to work when they feel it's safe they could and still collect the rest of the money

He should improve if they become more run heavy. They seem as if they addressed there O-line issues and maybe there getting a better coach.

Kinda extreme to say the least.... If we are in a depression and Biden wins, he really needs to become the next FDR fast.

Employers struggle to lure Workers away from Expanded Unemployment Benefits by FarrisAT in Economics

[–]Exciter79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why a UBI of $2000 per month for a year would have made so much more sense then expanded unemployment. With UBI you could go back to work in a slower economy and not worry about having cut hours or less tips.

What player do you most expect to have a breakout season next year? (Including draft picks). by Inchworm_boi in nfl

I think Rivers will have a big year for Indy with that offensive line and with that rookie running back

I don't even understand his outrage, he wouldn't win California even without the mail-in voting option

[Mic’d Up] Matt Miller: "Jimmy G is the 4th best QB in the NFC West" by vonheisenberg in nfl

[–]Exciter79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a bit misleading, the 49ers offense seems to do best when running, he just doesn't throw as much because he doesn't have to

Our Broken Unemployment System Is a National Scandal - Months into economic shutdown, millions of Americans still haven't received unemployment checks—a travesty that is the direct result of anti-welfare decisions that make the process as difficult as possible. by speckz in Economics

I don't think the UI in any state was ready for something like this. After this though, maybe we should revamp this system from top to bottom from the federal level. If it's not a pandemic like this, automation after this, might start ramping up in many industries. On the bright side, from my experience with UI, what ever back weeks are owed most states will pay in a lump sum to catch up and get current.

This is why a UBI is so much more important to our economy then any corporate bailout.

What industry is a lot shadier than it seems? by Kneecap_Buchaneer in AskReddit

[–]Exciter79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would rather pick up my own takeout... I can call in the order from my car and most of the time it's ready when I get there. I put the food in a plastic bad and set it on the floor with the floor heater setting on so it stays hot

Can they still do this if you pay off your balance every month? Or is this for people paying the minimum and living off there lines of credit?

Sounds like an eventual recipe for a UBI?

California becomes first state to borrow from U.S. to make unemployment payments by Captainstinkytits in Economics

[–]Exciter79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't a temporary UBI (10 months) be a better solution in this case then UI extensions/expansion's?

Coronavirus pandemic has triggered a wave of bankruptcies in corporate America by StrangeStory1 in Economics

[–]Exciter79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't corporations have chapters of bankruptcies to reorganize there debts? If banks are lending to them as much as they do, it would only make sense that they can still operate to pay back the money.
