Yeah that’s my biggest problem with the “people shouldn’t get more in Unemployment than they were making while working!” Crowd.. .. #1) it’s proof that lots of people have been criminally underpaid, barely getting by on slave wages for years.. and #2) if you’re gonna get outraged about Joe Schmo on the street getting $800/week unemployment, I’m okay with you being outraged IF, and only IF- you have an equal amount of outrage, or even MORE outrage, for the Corporations who are also recovering the equivalent of ‘Unemployment payments’ to the tune of Billions of dollars.. You cant have it both ways, you cant rage at the single mom making $30k a year who’s finally getting a little bit of relief, while not being JUST AS ANGRY at the corporations doing the exact same thing.
