I tried to step up our hiring schedule but its looking like a no go. We're in a deep freeze now. I'll keep you posted.

The state is in a hiring freeze, but, if your willing to learn a new profession, I'd check out the Dept of Agriculture offices in Seattle and Tacoma, they have been looking for inspectors, not sure if they still are. Pay isn't that great, but the insurance is good and its a job. Good lluck.

So I was just thinking how we are giving all of these corporations billions and trillions of dollars.

My Solution: If we took 50 million working citizens between the ages of lets say 50 and 65 years old. Gave them 2 Million dollars with the expectation they quit their jobs and live off that money for the rest of their lives. We only spent 100 million dollars and just opened up 50 million jobs.

To me that sounds like a way to restart the economy. Not giving individuals making 100k+ a bonus.

Uh... check your math.. if you're giving people 2 mill apiece, that's only 50 people = 100 mill.
