It's not going to be possible to believe the "legit" reasons are primary. Reality is a lot of people are getting paid 2-3 times what they would make working a part time job by staying home and they have no incentive to work.

When the government made people stop working the government had an obligation to the people. It's really hard to argue that what was given was appropriate. I'm a big supporter of unemployment but I've always felt the purpose of unemployment is to help you find a job not find the job, and definitely not be a more financially prudent answer than working like it currently is.

All the bull shit people keep spewing about "Oh it's just people trying to protect themselves!" is really annoying because it's nonsense.

Heck man it's not even part time jobs but a large number of full time jobs as well.

So you got all these people saying "This is wrong, they shouldn't be giving that much, why would they go back to work".

Problem is, why should they have had to work for that little in the first place?

I'm a big supporter of profit sharing, you should give employes a percentage of the profit any buisiness makes that they work for. That would more than double most salaries right there, while reducing the end profit by about 5%.

When you look at the shear number of people living on around $1000 a month ($1000-$1500), it's crazy. So yeah, if you suddenly give em $4000 a month for staying home, your not gonna have them rushing to go back to that job again.

Was it a mistake to give $600 a week on top of normal unemployment, HELL YEAH, change needed to happen but that certainly wasn't the way to do it, nor was it the intended consequence expected.

But doing so, it's going to be hard to put that cat back in the bag, you have people that have never had any money left over at the end of the month their whole lives, who suddenly have freedom.

It's basically removing the shackles of wage slaves and then expecting them to put em back on again after awhile voluntarily. It's not very likely that is gonna happen.

Take mc D's for instance, 200k employees in the us, made a profit in 2019 of 60 billion. Take just 5% of that (3 billion and split it among every employee and you have an extra $15,000 per employee across the board from profit sharing. Meanwhile they would STILL have had a profit of 57 freaking billion dollars.

I 100% guarantee that 15k would have made a WAY bigger difference for the employees then it did for the rich smucks who got the extra 3 billion.
