Is it even worth holding a full time job if you aren't making over 50k a year? Why would you do any menial job if 4 months out of the year you can make ~25 an hour?

Yes it's worth it, because this is only a temporary handout. People want to work right now, but they can't due to the govt restricting them. Anyone who decides 4 months of UE is better than a lifetime of gainful employment is stupid, and really those people aren't the ones who have been working up until this point.

The purpose of 4 months is because this won't be a quick fix. Many businesses will require some time to reestablish, so they won't be able to rehire all employees immediately. This time frame allows a transition period.

The outrage over this bill is weird. Monday every one of you were throwing fits that the Dems blocked this bill. Today you are outraged that it was passed. Did you really expect a perfect bill to come of this? Is that even possible?

This is a very unique time, and this is not a permanent handout. This is the govt fixing a problem it caused, which it has a duty to do.
