NY is $504/wk maximum. Somebody who earned $30,000 in 2019 would get less than $300/wk. (30,000 / 4 / 26 = 288)

The tweet is wildly detached from reality.

It is a little exaggerated but add in snap and other benefits and it’s not far off.

Once you start doing that, you need to calculate whatever benefits people could still get with their $30k salary.... and it never ends. I also think they may have added stimulus money to get to the $47k, but didn't calculate that someone making $30k got the stimulus, too. I don't believe it was meant to be super accurate; it was to make a point.

Yeah then factor in that most of the unemployment is term limited and somebody who has been getting it for a year doesn't get any more...

It's wildly detached from reality.

PUI ended on March 14, 2021. There are some other programs than extend it in NY, but everything ends after 70 weeks.

The problem is that if you get a second, you're likely to lose your first one.

In the shidduch world, the people suggested for you after the first wife leaves are usually 50% off, sometimes a bit more.

Which should fit perfectly as the guy is left with less than 50% when she leaves.
