All these bills are causing my place of employment a lot of issues. We manufacture and do engineering work for, Military, Aerospace and (Some health stuff which has kicked up the last few weeks). Our lowest wage workers start at 17 dollars an hour. Were running into a dillema now where people are saying they wont come into work, because they can make more off of unemployment and the government (its short sighted on their part), but I was in some conversations this afternoon like what do we do because people arent showing up. We may literally shut down over it. Like a complete shutdown and not reopen. We employ only a couple hundred people but we have a real issue on our hands.
Ive got a lot of mixed feelings about all this... I hate all this industry (corporate bail outs). I am glad that American people who need something short term can at least have something thrown at them.
Also Im sure Northrop Grumman, Boeing Defense, L3, etc, etc, markup their work a TON in their contracts with the government but they penny pinch the work they contract out like crazy, by far the least lucrative work we do is for big military projects and they moan about the slightest price increases.
