Critical industries?Unemployment payments is not the problem.
Yes, it is. I'll tell you exactly why.
You pay someone in a critical industry more in unemployment than they get on the job, you take a valuable worker out of a critical industry. Now, multiply that by a few hundred thousand and you cripple an entire industry and bring it to its knees. You do this to every critical industrial sector in America and you will essentially collapse the economy. It will harm (and kill) more people than COVID ever will.
Those unemployed now are so because their industries are shuttered due to covid, fool. Until covid is gone, that won't change.
Yeah, and you suddenly get to dictate when Covid 'is gone'. It's for purely non-scientific reasons only.
Those who are unemployed because of the virus should be motivated to go back to work, not to cripple an entire industry (and thereby an entire nation) because they are being given more incentive to sit on their butts instead.
Why is that so? When will Covid be gone? I'm beginning to think that people like you don't want it gone. It's giving you a power trip. That makes you utterly despicable in my eyes.
