The bill would offer jobless Americans $600 a week and pay 13 weeks of unemployment benefits, according to draft language of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.
$15 an hour on top of what the state pays you. What the hell

First we had these size notes:

Dims rammed that in. 4 republicans tried to adjust it to something reasonable, and put it to vote. The vote was 47-47, so it lost.
So now employers can tell laid off employees "Collect unemployment for 4 months, you'll make more and when it's done, you'll have a job here". The unemployed will make an equivalent to $24/hour.
Problem is, it's like free ice cream. Once served, no one wants to say "OK, no more free ice cream".

My company is doing the right thing and keeping people on payroll. With this we are now being mean. In MN underemployment pays 50% so basically anyone under $30 an hour would make more on unemployment.

Now that MN announced it is paying the extra $600 some employees at work are asking why should they keep coming to work when they can make more on unemployment. I just tell them because they have to get laid off can’t collect unemployment if you quit. Well until they change that too.

Basically the Dems won and got their $15 hour min wage. Around me Target, Walmart, grocery store, and amazon are trying to add people to keep up. Now why would anyone go there and make less then $600 a week they can on unemployment.

As planned. Yes, the republicans caught this, but only a few had the backbone to demand it be removed.
Fuck all of them.

and then the articles complains that wages aren't high enough (rather than exploring the possibility of the benefits being too high) or any concept of competition from workers in other countries.

This is the beginning of universal income.
Watch the screams and throwing themselves on the floor when it comes time to end it.

It won't end abruptly. There will be extension after extension...
