People ranted about how much pandemic unemployment paid, which officially ended on September 6, 2021, but I worked just enough to not qualify, and when I mentioned it people yelled at me.

Why was it all or nothing?

As I recall, I needed to earn $230 or less in order to qualify for $830.

It is like when people talk about student loan forgiveness and I say that I wish that I received something for paying off mine as fast as possible.

They always yell at me.

I am not saying that I deserve however many tens of thousands I paid off (each time I graduated I owed at least $40,000).

I would be happy if someone bought me nice tacos, just something, some token.

Why couldn't I receive $45 if I made $235 and bring home a whopping $280 a week when apparently everyone was struggling?

I could have made 3.6 times as much if I made excuses for not working!

By the way, we were approved for the house, so now I need to sign up for utilities and everything.
