You'd have to subsidize McDonalds too.

Your ideas are bad and you should feel bad.

Here's to your mom not closing that gap and going from super spreader to superspreader.

I think the problem with businesses not being able to hire people is just a short term problem, like right now nobody wants to work or go outside, some do, but they were probably working all year.

most min wage workers were not, and they are not ready nor do they really need to right now, because guess what, they're not going out! so theyre not spending money, and dont need to work.

But as the months go on, and going out becomes normalized again, more apps for jobs will come in, and the pay and jobs will normalize again.

We're in a once a century bubble, things are crazy right now because that bubble is popping.

No, the problem is people are collecting $600 / week for doing nothing and they would prefer to do that than work and make more.

Anyone still collecting is a lazy, disgusting leech and I'd pack them all into a space ships and send them directly into the sun.

Invest in hobby companies like computer game distributors and table top wargames model manufacturers. These shut ins have to be spending those dollars some where.

That sounds expensive. Greenland as a penal colony is more realistic and accomplishes more goals for the Empire

Going to work sucks for everyone. If Biden was paying you the same amount or more than you were used to making you would sit at home and take your check too.

This has already been explained time and time again.

A newly renovated McDonalds in my county is hiring right now at $18/hour. If you're an unemployed low-skill worker, you can't afford to pass that up for unemployment + $400/week. If you live in a shithole state where McDonald's starts at $8 an hour, you can't afford to give up unemployment +400/week to work.

It has nothing to do with work ethic and everything to do with survival. If you're on the margins and you can get a 50% pay increase doing anything, you're an asshole if you don't take it. No matter what it is or, in this case, isn't.

Do they need to end the $400/week? Probably. I like the bonus program Montana put in place. Sure they just did it to get the pleebs to go back to work pouring lattes in Boz Angeles, but its a decent idea.
