People need to understand something. Way back during the creation of FDR's New Deal, the mostly racist Southern Dems in Congress told FDR that they didn't mind social programs as long as Black people didn't get any so this stuff is rooted in racism and people just do not want to believe that.

Example when Unemployment was created back then, they put in stipulations that said if you did certain types of jobs i.e. domestic work which meant people who cleaned the homes of wealthy or well-to-do folks, you didn't qualify for unemployment and if you were a migrant farm worker you didn't qualify for benefits and during that time in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, those types of low pay menial degrading jobs were being done by Black people, Now today those same jobs are being done by mostly illegal immigrants and if you ever visit the wine country or large farms, those people doing that work are not American because American's aren't doing that kind of work.

The only reason America doesn't have paid maternity leave, free college and healthcare is all rooted in racism and that much has been echoed by a certain political party and now in one of the most adverse times, we have politicians who have for a better part of 8 months or so, drag their feet in coming up with an agreement for another stimulus package meanwhile people have lost their homes etc especially restaurant workers so yeah this stuff is really sad.

$600 for some people won't cover their rent/mortgage but hey people voted for the likes of McConnell so deal with it.
