No is stopping you from joining the unemployed.
Way to miss the entire point, smh.
You already knowSo they can give 100% of the population thousands of dollars...But giving 13% of the population reparations was unrealistic and not financially feasible?
Maybe this whole reparations debate wasn’t really about economics but about something else

I've already got your point and agreed with you; essential workers need and deserve hazard pay, but that still doesn't mean I agree that people are "better off" sitting home collecting unemployment. Many of them don't have taxes being taken out, yielding an abundance of untaxed income, and will be fukked eventually. Once you factor in taxes, if your paycheck is still lower than unemployment, I say you may need a new occupation anyway.Way to miss the entire point, smh.
What’s the issueThe whole shyt is ass backwards and unsustainable. And yes it is self serving pandering on the DEMs part because dangling money in front of people is not addressing the issue and is not something that can keep happening.
Sis, this is some really bad logic. there are millions of jobs that don't even sniff $2400 a month. And quite a bit of them are deemed essential.I've already got your point and agreed with you; essential workers need and deserve hazard pay, but that still doesn't mean I agree that people are "better off" sitting home collecting unemployment.

Most likely any purchase you make is processed in some way or form through an employee that doesn't make that kind of bread.
Working employees didn't create that gap. The purpose of unemployment shouldn't have been designed to promote unemployment.
When I have my own employees reluctant to come back to work cause of this shyt. What u saying doesn’t factor in. When I see this shyt happening and hear the banter on the front lines. Let’s say u make $350 a week at work. Busting ur ass. Putting urself in danger. Then u have to quarantine for whatever reason. U file for unemployment. And the unemployment isn’t even permanent because u STILL get to keep ur job when u feel comfortable coming back to work. U banking $775 a week in unemployment because it’s half of ur weekly salary but u making double what u make while working on unemployment because of that $600. Why would a worker wanna rush to come back? Knowing they can keep their job AND get more money? Or u can just stay home and never come back and keep collecting. Why would the workers that’s working wanna still work when they have these options?I've already got your point and agreed with you; essential workers need and deserve hazard pay, but that still doesn't mean I agree that people are "better off" sitting home collecting unemployment.

To my understanding, the 600 a week is a bump above that isn't previous income based. A person can even have their own benefits expire and still qualify, but that isn't the true crux of the point.From my understanding, unemployment was based on a percentage of your wages earned over a period and $630 was the max base on those earnings. Normal unemployment without the additional bonus payment, is usually significantly less than your salary. I don't think everyone is getting the max, but I will read again. If that's the case, you guys are right, there is no incentive to work.
