Quote from hippie:

You are assuming that every freelancer knows the every details of the workaround for the crazy laws. Most of my friends who were also IT contractors simply have 6 months living expense or more set side in case of prolonged down time. 6 months is about the amount of regular unemployment benefits.

Fed used tax money to extend unemployment benefits way beyond what the insurance covers per payroll reduction. This extra federal aid available to the once self-employed.

Some jobs are never going to come back, even if the workers are willing to work half of their old pay. These jobs are gone for good or need a lot fewer workers.

This extra federal aid is beyond what unemployment insurance insured for. It is a tax funded problem, but it is NOT available to the once self-employed.

Quote from hippie:

American government charity doesn't begin at home. Billions are used to buy influence overseas. There is no help for the desperate here - unless you fit neatly into some special categories of the red tape.

And when a person become homeless, the city forbids them from sleeping in their cars, and In San Francisco, no lying down or sitting on side walks.

Just tint your car windows, and most likely no one will see you sleeping in your car, or better yet, get a van.
