I’m pretty sure everyone here would be going ape**** if Obama did the same thing.

I am willing to acknowledge this bias.
To me, the whole context of democrats using anything as an excuse to advance socialism would definitely be affecting how I feel about it, and I’d probably be jumping on Obama for it. TBH, I’m not thrilled about incentivizing unemployment, but I would imagine that most people who could go back to work, would go back to work. Most of the people with the propensity not to work or to game the welfare system were already doing that before covid19
My business has been shut down since March. We depend on concerts, football games, broadway shows, etc. to do business. I don’t see any light at the end of our tunnel yet but I’d much rather be working. And no, I’m not going to take a job in a grocery store until we can restart. The government was the cause of our business shutting down so they can pay me.
