Now if you disagree with how that works, fine. I'm just sharing with you how it works.
I understand how it works, but no mention was made of the OP's previous wage. The op also did not mention the posted wage was more or less than what they were receiving on UI.

Well you were replying to lostinca, not the OP.

Furthermore, I HIGHLY doubt lostinca was making anywhere near $8.50/hr before they were laid off.

You left off the fact that he is dealing drugs.

He is selling his prescription pain pills to others, that is a drug dealer.

Much worse than not paying taxes.

I figured that much too, but I didn't want to get into all of that.

Then if they get arrested, taxpayers will have to subsidize their cushy jailroom too.
