Paying people $44k annually to sit at home on their asses is asinine, people that voted for this administration should be lined up and shot.

If someone is getting $44k to sit at home even when they are able bodied, It's called socialism (barring receiving money from a safety system they've paid into).

It's so popular that millions from Central and South America are headed North to enter the U.S illegally to get them some more of it...

Missing work for long periods at a time lowers your ability to excel at a job...you get out of work shape...like when you don't exercise you get out of physical shape....

I think it likely depends on how many of the unvaccinated, get vaccinated. We don't have the money to support a new wave of people losing their jobs due to .... needed local lockdowns that could occur, or school closings that could occur causing other employment problems....

I just think we need to fight this monster with all we've got, to keep Covid, from winning...again and again and again.... I'm not ready to let it win this war and take the USA down with it!!! ... This war of us, against it.... We can do better...we must do better in easing the fears of the unvaccinated so they can muster the courage to come to the aid of their Country, when it needs them most....and get vaccinated....

And yes, even with vaccinations, it may only be a patch, for the multitude of battles to come with variant creations throughout the world....and a traveling global world.

As you can see by my babbling.... I think this smart as hell, Corona Virus 2, is a pretty ingenious devil, that is now going after the younger folks!

It's making certain it sickens or kills masses of the unvaccinated younger people who are the mostly unvaccinated.... Via those vaccinated, being able to pass their relatively unnoticeable covid infection, easily on to them....

If the vaccines had protected the vaccinated from being able to spread the infection, along with the existing protection from becoming really sick with it, then all of those unvaccinated would have had a better chance against this Delta variant and catching it.... The vaccinated could have given some protection to the unvaccinated.... But once again, this covid sucker, won the battle....

Please, anyone listening, this isn't about politics... Try to protect yourself, as best as you can, against the odds, against you... Get vaccinated.... It's the best we got, at this time, in our ammo bag.

It really isn't $44k....

The average unemployment payment is $300 a week....some states pay more to workers some states pay less for UE to workers and workers who earned More while working will get more than people who earned less, and all that jazz, but the average is the $300 a week....

Take the federal supplement of $300 and add it to the average UE State payment comes to $600 a week, which comes to $15.00 an hour, which is $31,000, and not $44,000....a year.

$15.00 an hour is what most states are heading towards being the MINIMUM wage..... Which truly is not a Stellar amount of money in most states nor good enough reason to not go back to work imo....

You left out food stamps and other entitlements they qualify for. $15.00 is huge amount where cost of living is not inflated as in CA, NY, and IL
