Explains the dismal April jobs report.
When our founding fathers wrote of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” they did not have sitting around with hand-held self-gratification screens in mind. We should not underestimate the desire of many to be enslaved.
Made enough money on unemployment to get by.
It is way more satisfying to earn it.
I’m not sure that’s exactly right. But close. The new Pandemic Relief fund which spent $1.9 trillion, 91% of which went to interests with lobbying power, cut the federal taxpayer benefit from $600 a week to $300 a week. I am really shocked more leftists aren’t outraged by that.
So, depending on the state, maybe $100-$300 a week in unemployment, plus $300 from feds, barely adds up to $30,000 a year. Of course I am not factoring taxes. But $30,000 a year for doing nothing beats $36,000 to bust your but for some jerk 40 hours a week I’ll give you that.
Isn’t 32k per year about 15 dollars per hour? The new de facto minimum wage, because of this price support.
Stupidest thing I did was start a business and work for myself. I’m going to do everything I can to get on the dole now. $32,000 per year is higher than my budgeted retirement goals. Working is for chumps.
I’ve NEVER been on welfare. I wouldn’t even know how to go about it. Heck! Maybe I’m just missing out. All I ever did is work and pay taxes. Don’t I feel like the “sucker”!
Meanwhile people working at nursing homes are “essential” so they get to continue working for the same old $10/hr.
