If it is true that people are allowed to stay home simply because they are afraid that they might get coronavirus and then they can claim unemployment benefits, we might see many places like a chicken processing plant closing. Some people would rather stay home with unemployment, sometimes making more than they made while they were working, especially if they have an unpleasant job. Extending unemployment to people who have not even been exposed to someone with coronavirus, but are just worried about getting coronavirus, may turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes.

Making unemployment more profitable than working is a major mistake. This is a repeat of the Obama years where unemployment insurance was extended, then the unemployed worked out a scam to transition from unemployment to SSDI by employing charlatan lawyers and doctors to certify them. The term "funemployment" was common with the layabouts. We can't afford a return to those policies.

We may be forced to open the border to Mexico, just so we will have the workers that we need.
