So working people have been treated screwed over during this whole pandemic?

Question

I am all for helping disabled, veterans, unemployment, men or women with children. Sure some of us received $1200 stimulus first one.  Then almost a year later second one $600 and third one $1400.  So a damn measley $3200 give me a break. It's not right we should of gotten $10,000 at least.  Oh be thankful to have a job oh big deal so I can risk my health, my loved ones health by potentially being exposed and capturing covid-19.  Like most a job that under pays.  I just can't sit at home on my butt doing nothing being rewarded for it seems and most make more off of unemployment.  They get more in two weeks then I do in an entire month or four weeks.  Where is the incentive or encouragement or reasoning dumb and asinine if you ask me..

Just remember that it's Republicans who are against raising the minimum wage, against the stimulus, against healthcare, and against fair elections. But they are for bailing out billionaires 🙄

Instead of stimulus checks and shutdowns, they should have issued everyone N95 masks that actually work.  I know there was a shortage of them when the pandemic first came out but they are made of molded plastic and they could have stamped out a huge quantity in a short amount of time.

But instead they used it as an opportunity to get rid of Trump.  Most unbiased microbiologists believe that COVID-19 was engineered in a lab.  Ask yourself who would benefit the most from it.

Yes got all 3 stimulus checks and glad I got them. Unfortunately my employer didn't 
tell me until work finally resumed last November (we had been forced to shut down 
in mid March) that part timers like myself don't qualify for unemployment .. even now,
whether if I'm working 2 hours or 14 in a shift, don't get overtime pay during the latter
and several of my coworkers don't always wear mandatory masks while on the clock.

ps: My job barely pays minimum wage and they even tried paying me a lower wage
until I noticed a difference of nearly 20% when a long overdue check was deposited. Thankfully my boss is on my side and modified my hourly pay, albeit it's still peanuts.
