Before Trump lowered the unemployment benefits, people were going to be making so much money per hour.

Apparently Whitmer matched in Michigan to get it back up through state funds, which is better than federal.

However, it's still going to be hard to withdraw. Easier to give than take away.

I just did some flying, and honestly 50%+ of the people on my flights were flying on unemployment money.

The lady next to me confirmed it with a phone call saying she was only flying back home because they had suspended her benefits card for swiping too much out of state. She was flying back to mail some stuff, get eligible again then go back on vacation.

I don't think people understand what it looks like when poor people are suddenly rich for literally doing nothing.

They know it has to come to an end, i expect some fuss, but I am absolutely certain they won't have any savings when this is done.

I have some extended friends who are all service industry yahoos who all rented a mansion together to live in. They got thousands and thousands of stimulus and they partied on drugs and alcohol hard for a straight month.

That's just.. lovely.

But yeah, there will be some fuss though and there will also be candidates at some point running on the platform of more money for all, and this time they've gotten a taste of it unlike UBI.
