    If you don’t think paying people more to not work than to work is a problem, then I can’t help you.
    if they are receiving more in unemployment than they were while employed, that means they were probably working for a shit wage.
    No I don't think some people in the working class getting a few extra dollars temporarily is a big problem. Large companies like cruise lines and Ruth's Chris getting public money is.

    At the expense of who?

    Large companies shouldn’t have gotten anything, but the issues are separate. Given your past posts, I doubt you can figure that out.

    Large companies shouldn’t get money I agree. Workers also shouldn’t be incentivized to not work. It falls into line with people getting tax refunds higher than the amount they actually paid in said year.

    Biggest issue is removing political pressure to #OpenUp.

    Fuckin reddit level poast.


    Reddit level poaster.

    They were working for a shit wage because they have shit skills. So when things open up and the restaurant needs their dishwasher back, guess who isn't coming back to work when they are taking home 3 times the money that they did while working.

    Did you graduate high school btw?

    Or are you and @baydawg home schoolers?

    So the meat packer response to Trump is nobody will work for us

    I have an idea how to fix that. Involves not doubling UI payments for people who refuse to work

    Not sure they are getting sick at work. Generally Hispanics with large families, many times with multiple families sharing a residence. Also more prone to socialize.

    Yep. Woodburn Gervais Brooks and East Salem are the hotspots in Oregon.

    All over 60% beaners.

    I thought unemployment paid a percentage of what you earned at your job. How do you end up getting more? Honest question. I have no idea how unemployment works apparently.

    I'm not defending it, but it was based on some sort of median income. They needed to do something quickly in their eyes since it was Armageddon thanks to Chinese Sniffles. It would take months to calculate it for every single worker. So if you did it on a case by case basis, people would get the bump on June 15th when they're already back to work.
