[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also food servers are not suffering, most of them are getting UI with the federal boost even if they still work (reduction in hours). Those who don’t are illegal and shouldn’t be here in the first place. [/quote]

We know of one restaurant that cannot reopen as they cannot get enough staff as UI pays more.  And other ones are struggling for staff too.[/quote]

When labor is a scarce commodity, you pay more for it. You don’t remove a social safety net to drive down the cost of labor or any other commodity. People earning more from unemployment are also helping keep other businesses afloat. They aren’t hoarding the extra money and Scrooge McDucking in it. They bought clothing for their kids and got their cars repaired. Google money multiplier effect. The right wing forgets about that. [/quote]

But you also don't skew the market by paying people to do nothing when there are jobs available.  All of those benefits are being paid by the labor of current or future workers who kept working.  [/quote]
