This is my local county, we are north of Dallas so not getting hit nearly as hard as them. This looks decent to me, but I'm not doctor.

I'm curious which science is saying kids shouldn't be at school? The regional children's hospital here has advised in favor of kids going back to school because it's what the science dictates.
I think part of the issue is that children aren't the only ones in school. Do we fire older, more experienced teachers because they are more at risk?

From what I've been made to understand younger children are very poor disease vectors in this instance. In the case of older kids masks address most other concerns.

We have so many unemployed right now because the gov't is paying people more $$$ to sit on their ass than they would make returning to their jobs.

Everywhere I go I see nothing but NOW HIRING signs.

I can't really argue the decision to make more money to NOT work, but our gov't has created a huge problem with this stimulus. And with the election right around the corner, I'm sure they'll extend it through 2020 (currently set to expire July 31).

We have businesses around town that are allowed to open but they can't because they aren't able to get fully staffed.

Cancel the stimulus. Get people back to work.
Enough of this shit.
The numbers would disagree with you.

18 million Americans are currently unemployed who want to be employed. Yet there is only 5.1 million unfilled jobs available currently.

So what are those other 13 million people supposed to do?
Keep trying.....Those numbers aren't static.
Come up with a side hustle while suckling on the governments tit.
Learn new skills to better compete for the jobs that are open.
There's things people can do.

As you discuss this with him you need to keep in mind that if the subject were Canadian stimulus he has the exact opposite opinion.

Even if everyone learns new skills to compete for the jobs that are open, That still currently leaves 13 million without an opportunity.

Now how many of those 18 million have their job on hold. For example restaurant servers, cruise ship workers, movie theater employees Etc.

The discussion started from the statement that we should cancel stimulus checks and force everyone back to work. That would be based off the current conditions... And as I keep saying 13 million Americans will be left without an opportunity or any supports.
I am not arguing for either side I’m just pointing out the fact that it’s not true there are more jobs than there are people in need.

Are we pretending the current conditions will stay static and like this? Those 5.4 million jobs are the only jobs that will ever become available?

I’m not saying that. What I am saying is there is currently 18 million unemployed and only 5.4 million job openings. If today you cancel the stimulus benefits, that would leave 13 million without any where to turn. Tomorrow it could change the next day could change but today those are the numbers.

They would have to continue to do the things I mentioned earlier.....
