A small taste of why Yang's plan would never work... These lazy bums have no idea that this money has to be paid back..

I disagree. I think it's lazy if you don't want to earn your money. We got a stimulus check. Live within your means and work your way up like people are supposed to do. Not "you" as in Bluntone, but "you" in general.
I think the idea sounds good, too, and my wife would make more getting $600 on top of an unemployment check but she has too much pride to sit on her ass and collect a check that she knows she'll have to pay back eventually.

There are a lot of people making a few hundred a week working...some are pissed their bosses are opening back up.
I dont blame them...ride that wave until its gone....then go back to $1-2-3 even $400 per week working ..why not

Cut off the funny money. Bet they will all be delighted to return when they realize they can't pay their phone and internet bill.

This is one of the reasons the unemployment numbers are so high. The other is due to people quitting and then filing for unemployment. In Louisiana we can let the unemployment office know that the claims are false and they'll get nothing. So they quit to get unemployment, then end up with jackshart.
