Its human nature. If you’re offered something for free, you’ll take it. I don’t blame those who take it, but the government for giving it
“don’t hate the player - hate the game” ;)
Free, you say? Didn’t their employers pay for the unemployment insurance?
Considering that for some it has taken a long time to find a new job, might as well sign up for unemployment benefits, even millionaires have bills to pay.
Not all humans.
It was common for college students working in the cafeteria to be given unemployment papers at the end of spring semester. Same for people in limited appointment government positions such as I held on several occasions.
I figured I knew the gig before I signed up for it, and it would be wrong to take “unemployment” money from those who actually lost their jobs.
I have known many people who did not understand that position, it is true, but I have also known many people with more honor who would be ashamed to take any money they did not earn.
If you are saying that these 2000 plus millionaires, assuming that they meet the requirements for collecting unemployment benefits, are entitled, then I totally agree. However, just because some abuse the system by collecting benefits they are not entitled to - does not legitimate others doing the same thing.
The rules should be enforced irrespective of how much a person earned or is worth.
