Now that the epidemic has hit the United States, the economy has been hit hard, and life and money have become the opposite of the alternative. How can so many unemployed people survive?

The ones who had a regular job and were laid off/unemployed receive unemployment benefits. Now they expanded it to self-employed, 1099, etc. Most the people that worked ****** jobs getting paid like $10, $12, etc. an hour are overjoyed because they get an extra $600 a week for unemployment on top of the $200-$300 in benefits they'd normally get. That extra $600 alone is more than they were making so they don't want to go back to work.

Welcome to socializm paradise :-) And was that Trump, great capitalist, who did it? The world is awkward...

Neo liberal model of economy collapsed and world turned Multi-polar. Trump actually dealt with it very well but US deep state with help of Germany, Islamic league and France moved to destroy USA.

The situation is improving but:
"But the recovery will be painfully slow. It will take years, probably a decade to get back to where we were at the end of last year."

They lost job but they have good state support. On the other side, for example, 2/3 pf British work force have a fake jobs and still work only because state subventions of their jobs. USA is more honest in that regard. If your job have no economical logic you lose job but you get state support. In Britain you keep your job but state lie to you and world.

Trump gave 1200$ to every person making less then 75kUSD per year and 500$ to every child,plus 600$ a week for every unemployed person apart from there unemployment dues for 6 months.

What do Americans say about this support? Are they grateful or complain it is too little? Is this move by Trump going to influence the support for him in the coming elections ?

Venerable Trump is great and honest man. I respect him very much. US people is happy to have such a President.
