Phase 4 Relief Must be Targeted to Struggling Americans

I read about that stuff for laughs. It interests me.

Was surprised to get a post involving it.

Cool.

Have a good one.

The Post Office needs to move to Monday/Wednesday/Friday mail delivery.

That and neighborhood mailboxen. Some places already do that, where a whole block of houses have all their mailboxen in one place. The only time the mail carrier goes to an actual house is if they have a decent sized package.

According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), this misguided policy would result in unemployment benefits being higher than previous take-home pay for more than 80 percent of recipients. The CBO predicts that "the extension of the additional $600 per week would probably reduce employment in the second half of 2020, and it would reduce employment in calendar year 2021. The effects from reduced incentives to work would be larger than the boost to employment from increased overall demand for goods and services."

And States need to crack down HARD on unemployment benefits going to people who refuse to return to work when their job opens back up. Need to make it mandatory for employers to report employees who do this to their State labor commission or whoever handles UI.

On a side note, they really need to even out their assistance. All the focus is on bars and restaurants, halfwhat retail, when there is a way bigger world out there hurting from these shutdowns. WAY more people and small businesses have been affected than just those sectors.
