The gov't definitely needed to do something for people who were suddenly without a job through no fault of their own. But it's my belief they kept the faucet turned on way too long.
The faucet is still on in some red states… giving out bennies to those unvaccinated.

What’s your thoughts on extending unemployment benefits to those refusing to get vaccinated?

We’ve made it to the point where people’s profession is living of the government.


If people are not working, how are they surviving???
People taking 2 years off work is also really damaging to work ethic we basically trained the newer work force of 18-22 yrs old to not want to work. I predict we will have some other crisis in the future were younger folks call out 4 times a week from work.

Why doesn’t anyone want to work?

More red states extend unemployment aid to vaccine opponents

In October, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds — one of the Republicans who rushed to get people off of jobless aid in the spring — acted quickly to make unemployment benefits available to those who lost their jobs for refusing to get vaccinated. A month later, a handful of other red states had done the same thing. The Washington Post reported yesterday, meanwhile, that the list is gradually growing.

Workers who quit or are fired for cause — including for defying company policy — are generally ineligible for jobless benefits. But Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Kansas and Tennessee have carved out exceptions for those who won't submit to the multi-shot coronavirus vaccine regimens that many companies now require.
Conservative officials in Wyoming, Wisconsin, and Missouri are reportedly weighing similar policies.

UC system is public employment.
I am also going to say the logistics industry hires way more people than all the colleges in CA I guess the caveat is that logistics in CA isn't one employer but 1000's of companies.

Lost track of this thread.

Did it turn out that everybody would have been better off if the money had just been defaulted back to more tax cuts for the struggling billionaire class, like it was supposed to?

Wait, you were considered that unskilled before the tax payers funded your vocational training?

Just think what you could have done with that handout if you actually appreciated the opportunity that was provided to you!!

Companies shouldn't be forcing their employees to get vaccinated, so there shouldn't be any unvaxxed freeloaders.
