I don't understand why the relating receiving 1m dollars per job lots, the money would remain the same regardless of job losses so if they only made 1000 people redundant it would be 2million per job loss. If they didn't get money maybe it would have been 20k losses

Never mind we are likely approaching the last days of humanity as Covid will keep mutating spreading & spreading the vaccine will never be able to catch up or you will get ill from that a few years later. Get a SAS survival book on Amazon before the internet goes down!

They also took their share of $1.3 trillion dollar welfare check meant to pay those workers and pocketed the cash. GeneralStrike DestroyGOP
