In that article, I question their polls, data and poor attempts at reasoning. For instance:
"Full-time employment increased for people receiving the $500 a month by 12 percent, compared to five percent in the control group."
and
"Liberals dismiss the idea that cash assistance makes people lazy..."
So pleaz 'splain to me, Lucy...why so many fast food restaurant dining rooms are closed around here? Only the drive-thru's are open. According to the owners and managers, it's not because of COVID...it's because they can't get anyone to work! The extra unemployment payment extensions have kept people at home! The lazy ones, anyway. Why go back to work when you get paid MORE to stay home than you got when you were working!
So that I say, thank you, governor, for this action ==>>
