Businesses are shortening open hrs, working short staffed, practically begging for help, across the country. If you are an able body, and you're not currently working, it's because you don't want to work. Throwing free money at people and expecting them to be responsible enough to stop taking it when they find work is hilariously naive. 2 Link to comment

They can deal with the repercussions accordingly. Working less in America is generally probably not a bad thing outside of a few certain industries. 3 Link to comment

Well about half of Americans make 30k or less so most are in the lowest possible tax bracket, so when you take 12500 of that only about 18,000 or less is even taxable. Link to comment

Amazing how any discussion about poor people can come back to rich a-holes taking advantage of the poor to line their own pockets. Looking at you Walton family, Bezos, etc. 1 Link to comment

Like for a cashier or greeter or warehouse. 15 doesn't seem to cut it. 25 an hour? 30? 1 Link to comment
