Tax hike and reduced benefits likely as LA runs out of money for unemployment

What the hell is wrong with the government in Louisiana? Several businesses and jobs ARE STILL shutdown 6 months later because of JBE’s excessive Covid restrictions. There was a 44% increase in new unemployment claims filed last week by over 24,000 people.
Now, they’re telling people (laid off because of their dumbass bs Covid restrictions) that they’re not going to be able to receive the already low and pathetic weekly benefits they earned ($222 a week max after taxes) and are looking at charging businesses up to 30% payroll surcharge taxes. Absolute insanity!
Meanwhile, Texas is increasing weekly benefits, West Virginia is giving $100 extra a week, North Dakota never shutdown their economy, Arkansas, Rhode Island, and Idaho are giving more benefits to help people who don’t qualify for Trump’s program.
Louisiana is blaming residents for unemployment that isn’t their fault and threatening to lower their benefits. OPEN THE DAMN STATE’S ECONOMY BACK UP SO WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN MONEY!

JBE’s answer to unemployment:
No, buddy, we don’t need Congress to do anything, we need you to allow people to get back to work. Enough with the handouts.
quote:
”That’s another reason why Congress needs to go back to work and sit down and figure out this next stimulus package,” he said. “I think the House of Representatives passed a bill that’s $600. The Senate introduced a bill that’s $300. Somewhere in there there’s got to be a compromise you’d think.”

Furlough the university professors.
So many of them are for shutting down. It must be the right thing to do.

Laughably, The Advocate recently published an article about how LSU has a budget shortfall and as a result is having to - y’all better sit down for this - forego giving RAISES to staff this year.

1. Close down the economy
2. Exert control
3. Make people feel hopeless
4. Raise taxes on the idiots willing to take it
I’ve been fortunate through all this, but if I owned a business that has been shut down and had lost everything I’d worked for (THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN), I really think I’d be climbing a water tower with a rifle about now.
