QFrench2 06/01/21 12:32:24 AM #1:	We are in the middle of a pandemic, and people are suffering and wages need to go up for folks to get back to work and support their families. Why are Arkansas, Texas, Florida, and South Dakota passing laws to: 1) Drop the September +$300 unemployment benefits, and cut it to June 30th 2) Passing "Concealed Carry Anywhere" laws 3) Passing Abortion limitation laws Who do these even help? Why are they completely ignoring the pandemic and going after random stuff like guns and gutting unemployment benefits for workers? This does not even help anyone.
