It wasn’t that long ago that working from home was merely a pipe dream. But throughout history, there has always been some type of “working from home.” Of course, today, working from home with ease has been with a big thanks to advancements in technology.
The work from home requirements have become a necessity in a pandemic where you can’t leave your house. Maybe in the past you have worked from home because you can’t afford childcare, have a medical condition or you may be introverted and just prefer to stay at home. But, today, you are complying with stay-at-home orders due to Covid-19 .
In case you are keeping track:
US judge: IRS can't keep coronavirus money from inmates - ABC News
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton late last month gives the IRS until Oct. 24 to reconsider the payments for those who were denied or had their money intercepted solely because of their incarceration. But for those behind bars who didn't file a tax return in 2018 or 2019, another deadline is looming — they have until Oct. 15 to send a written application for the relief checks, or they may not receive them at all.
The federal agencies have filed a "protective appeal" to the 9th U.S. Circuit — which appears to be a placeholder of sorts designed to give officials time to decide if they'll fight the ruling.
Some states overpaid unemployment benefits — and want the money back - CBS
Unemployment benefits are designed to help out-of-work adults pay their bills while they look for a new job. But that aid has become a headache for tens of thousands of people in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states who were mistakenly overpaid by their state unemployment offices — and are now being asked to repay the money.
Ohio officials said more than 160,000 people received overpayments in August and September through its regular unemployment claims as well as Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), the federal program designed to help self-employed workers and others who aren't typically eligible for jobless benefits. .

Being a single parent can certainly make you feel stretched thin financially. As someone who was raised by a single mom who worked two full-time jobs to care for my brother and me, I experienced firsthand how much my mom sacrificed to make sure her kids had a roof over their heads and food on the table. And that was during a time when parents could send their kids off to school and not have to worry about hiring a babysitter.

Clevelanders for Public Transit, Black Spring CLE want more money for transit, less money for

Alex Tapscott - This Is Money in 2030 - CoinDesk
In the year 2030, if we do this right, money, the foundation of our economy and civilization will be unrecognizable. As a society we have grown so accustomed to the status quo of today's money – fiat currencies issued and controlled by governments and central banks – that we forget money periodically goes through a great upheaval. We are on the brink of one of these moments. Money, one of humanity's greatest and most enduring creations, is becoming digital.
For some, the reinvention of money is a chance to break free from state and corporate control. For others, it’s an opportunity to further entrench the dominant businesses of today – such as Facebook and Goldman Sachs, two of many big firms with their eye on the reinvention of money. And for governments, it is a chance to either defend the status quo in the case of the U.S. dollar, or create a new global hegemon, in the case of China’s central bank digital currency.
Coronavirus Pandemic Hastens the Demise of at-Risk Municipal Money Funds - WSJ
The pandemic is putting a nail in the coffin of the most vulnerable municipal money funds, taking away tax-free investment options from some mom-and-pop investors.
In September, Vanguard Group told investors it would shutter New Jersey and Pennsylvania-focused funds. Bank of New York Mellon's Dreyfus liquidated one state-specific fund last month and in August, Federated Hermes said it would wind four down in February.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell Calls for Congress to Spend Stimulus Money
And the Fed chair bows to the Blog's First Law of Economics: Fck The Deficit. People got no jobs. People got no money.
* * *
This is as vivid a red flag as anyone has waved at any point during our current tangle of crises, and it's being flourished by a guy who looks like he drinks straight vinegar for breakfast. Powell is the polar opposite of wild-eyed. Not even someone as nutty as a Republican member of the House can call him a socialist.
