In reality more than two thirds of the unemployed are better off not working; even those receiving less income are receiving the value (to them) of their time, hours lost commuting, personal expenses for going to work, etc.

IMO this was deliberate by democrats, overcompensating their constituents for the shutdowns to normalize not working but still being looked after. Now, ending the 'temporary' extra welfare is 'impoverishing people and jeopardizing their health', and the door is wide open for their representatives to demand formerly radical policies like UBI.

If your job has been offered back, and you refuse, then ALL unemployment benefits end, and you are not able to come back. There are lots of other people who will work in your place. Starve greedy bastard. Starve!

The supposed safety catch is that if they are called back to work and refuse to go, the benefits stop short.
