Who was shipping jobs?!don’t know about cheery but it was best in usa history And that was with liberals shipping jobs to china and with liberals inviting in 30 million illegals to take our jobs and bid down our wages. Imagine the economy we would have without antibusiness liberals everywhere?Landlords pay property taxed and are required to maintain property according to code.??? Your debt will grow, eventually you will be evicted, you will then need another landlord to trust you will pay the new higher rent that your bad credit will trigger. Best course is, if you cant pay, make the best deal you can with your creditors to minimize the damage as much as possible.Chances are, as it was then, the police won't remove you.
No. Then you vote for a National Socialist leader. Who then proclaims imminent domain over most rental properties and takes possession of them. Then basically turns them into section 8 housing. Also, I had a friend who's son was the friend of the son of a landlord. He told my friends son that all his father had to do for a living was collect money. Maybe it's time such people got a real fucking job instead of being parasites. And actually make something tangible that contributed to the human condition.
The issue is that there is no way low income workers will ever be able to make back payments.
On the other hand, why would a landlord kick someone out when no one has money now and the landlord will have to go through the pain of advertising and showing the rentals to other people who have out of work?
It sure is refreshing to hear somebody say something sensible on this topic.
Why should the renters be the only ones to take a bite if the coronavirus shit sandwich. Also, probably most people only earn minimum wage. Which they have trouble enough getting by with. Let alone pay back rent with. Also, the average minimum wage here in the U.S. is $11.80 an hour. If you are lucky enough to work 40 hours a week, that comes out to $1888 a month. The stimulus checks will be around $600 less than that. Only a sucker's sucker would wast it on paying back rent.
Also, probably most people only earn minimum wage.
Less than 3% of Americans earn the Federal minimum wage.
I wonder what rat infested hell hole you dug that statistic up from. I suppose you also believe that the Clinton administration balanced the budget. Before the coronavirus hit, there were around 27 million unemployed working age adults in the U.S. And around 22 million that were underemployed.

Characteristics of minimum wage workers, 2017 : BLS Reports: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
In 2017, 80.4 million workers age 16 and older in the United States were paid at hourly rates, representing 58.3 percent of all wage and salary workers. Among those paid by the hour, 542,000 workers earned exactly the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. About 1.3 million had wages...www.bls.gov
I misunderstood your reply. I thought you were saying that only 3% of Americans are paid minimum wage, or lower.

That's precisely what I said.
Turns out, you were just about right. So much for statistics. Maybe there is some question as to what minimum wage is. I have heard the average is $11.80 an hour. But apparently in some states it is $7.25. With the correct answers being so hard to find, there must be something fishy going on. But on one website from PEW Research, they say that 14.3% of Americans live in poverty. Which is 43.6 million people. But I also found that there are around 157 million workers in the U.S. That is nearly a third of workers. It seems to me that one third is more than 14.3%. Maybe we should get back to the stimulus checks.

No question. The Federal Minimum Wage is $7.25
I have heard the average is $11.80 an hour.
Nope.
With the correct answers being so hard to find
Not hard.
The federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour.
Minimum Wage
The federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour. Many states also have minimum wage laws. In cases where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages.www.dol.gov

You're an idiot.

Why would you think that everyone in poverty is a worker?
Is it because you're an idiot?
You want to bitch, bitch at wikkipedia. It was there that it said that the average minimum wage in the U.S. was $11.80 an hour. Next, you are fishy. Next, you may have me there. What I was trying to go for was the number of working age adults in the U.S. that were in poverty. But that aside, what is the poverty level, idiot. I remember hearing that in California, a person needed to earn around $50.00 an hour to live an average middle class lifestyle. And I doubt if it a lot different in the rest of the states. But who makes that kind of money. Not the majority for sure. You could probably make $25.00 an hour and still be below the poverty level. No matter how rosy of a picture you try to paint, I don't think the reality matches it. Or your 3% figure.

Wikipedia? That site that can be edited by idiots like you? That's your source? LOL!
Idiot!

Good luck. Try to be less of an idiot.
Like it or not, the economy never was as cheery as fools like you want to make it out to be. If the government says the economy is doing good, you would be better off believing the opposite. In the U.S., before the coronavirus, there were about 28 million working age adults who were unemployed. Things are so bad that many quit even trying to find a job. There were also around 22 million Americans who were underemployed. So what's next for you. Are you going to tell me that human caused global warming is a hoax?
No wonder I had you on delete for a few years; you're still dumb as all hell.
