Let's not stop at unemployment benefits though! Let's also get rid of Medicare and Social Security too! Those old lazy and sick people sitting around the house all day are a huge drain on the working class! I want my money to go towards me and nobody else @PcolaNative your ability to recognize wasteful Socialist Programs is uncanny! Let’s not stop at unemployment benefits though!

Hiring signs are great. Wages, transportation and child care are also factors. Someone in a rural area has lots fewer options. Not everyone is within walking distance of emp.oyment and child care was already problematic. Changes to school times have made it even harder for some parents. There are lots of moving parts. How about some compassion for people in situations different from our own? @PcolaNative – Some people lost jobs because businesses closed, some for good, or when they reopened did not hire everyone back.

Everyone should have access to a good paying job that will allow them to support themselves and their family. Sadly, a lot of businesses would rather be understaffed than pay their workers a living wage. My workplace starts their workers at $18/hour, and has had zero staffing issues since the pandemic started. It's strange how the only businesses that seem to have staffing problems are also the ones offering *barely* over minimum wage. @PcolaNative

But please consider those who are seeking work and may not be able to find jobs (1) that provide the flexible hours to care for young children or anyone disabled in the household or (2) where they can meet the specific training, education, or physical requirements. People who are homeless, including veterans who have served our nation, are challenged to find a job. Age discrimination makes harder for people over 50 to get a job. Also, anyone who has ever worked has contributed to funding social services and social security. While there are will be people who cheat to get undeserved services, a humane democracy is not socialist because it dem I understand the frustration and anger when people could work and don’t.

Lazy ppl taking advantage of pandemic by refusing to work are despicable. The govt first has to steal from hardworking ppl to redistribute to ppl sitting on their couch. Hiring signs are everywhere. This is how socialism works .. the population accepting govt dependence. Our unemployment should be ZERO. Lazy ppl taking advantage of pandemic by refusing to work are despicable.
