Comment on Dollar General warns poorer US consumers are running out of money
Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 1 week agoDon’t you remember? They gave us all like $2500 or something one time. That’s enough to live on for at least a decade for the poors.

I got “unemployed” during Covid and saw everyone bragging about how awesome it was that the federal government was providing extra money and it was like working a good job…
My state let me know they had run out of unemployment insurance several decades ago and I would get just the federal money, reduced down to the state amount, minus the state and federal tax from each check.
Yeah I got so fucked over it’s still a shock that people say they legitimately came out better with more money.

You should have seen my fucking face when I was on unemployment and I found out that I had to pay income tax on my unemployment checks. Like… what the fuck? Why didn’t you just give me less money to begin with?!
