People will always have children and health conditions. What I can't seem to get across is if you don't have a healthy, thriving economy with full employment you ultimately can't pay for assistance programs. Other countries don't want to buy our bonds when we're printing money. Keep doing that and you get runaway inflation. That makes it that much harder for the working poor to get by because pay always lags behind. The CPI for April rose by 4% or so. That means an annualized inflation rate of about 20%. So money at the end of '21 will be worth about 20% less than the start. That's a killer for those of us on fixed incomes. And it didn't have to happen. Y'all's faith in the government's ability to control inflation, or deflation, is about to be tested.

My brother has been delivering for Grubhub for extra money and to keep busy. As we‘re on the phone he’s picking up a $3.60 cookie order from a place called Crumbl and a drink order from Mango Mango. I just want to know who these people are that have money to waste on paying Grubhub to bring them $3.60 worth of cookies? Millennials complaining that they can’t afford to buy a house? Spoiled Gen Zers? People staying home at taxpayers expense because they’re getting an extra $300 a week?
They caught afford anything because they put their wants in front of their needs.
It's a generation I want everything now and I don't want to put my time into get it
let me help explain some of it:
"Slow wage growth persists: Consistent positive wage growth has occurred in only 10 of the last 40 years.
State of Working America Wages 2019: A story of slow, uneven, and unequal wage growth over the last 40 years
Rising wage inequality and slow and uneven hourly wage growth for the vast majority of workers have been defining features of the U.S. labor market for the last four decades, despite steady (if too slow) productivity growth. In only 10 of the last 40 years did most workers see any consistent...

1979–2019: Slow wage growth and rising inequality has been the norm over the last 40 years
Wages for the vast majority have grown slower than their potential and much slower than for those at the top.
Since 1979, “real” (inflation-adjusted) hourly pay for the vast majority of American workers has diverged from economywide productivity, and this divergence is at the root of numerous American economic challenges. Figure A displays productivity and hourly compensation from 1947 to 2018. After tracking rather closely in the three decades following World War II, growing productivity and typical worker compensation diverged. From 1979 to 2018, productivity grew 69.6%, while hourly compensation of production and nonsupervisory workers grew just 11.6%. Productivity thus grew six times as fast as typical worker compensation."

Here's what the comments I've read and what people are telling me are saying. That job currently offered at @16 an hour would in normal times pay half that or less. Now if they gave up their UC and went back to work there's nothing that can stop that employer from cutting that wage in half two weeks later leaving them worse off than before. And as long as the GOP holds the US Senate the federal minimum wage is going nowhere. UC on the other hand while it won't last forever it is however guaranteed money so they've decided to take the guaranteed money for as long as it lasts and take their chances after their claim is exhausted.

DemWits control the Senate.
And studies have shown in areas where Amazon has raised its pay to $15hr pay at other employers has risen too. By the way the GOP no longer controls the Senate.

There's A New Study That Says Welfare Pays Better Than Work — Here's Why It's Total Nonsense
The Cato Institute is out with an update to their 1995 study which purports to show that, in most states, welfare pays better than work.

They still have the filibuster which is just as good as evidenced by their stated objective to block with a filibuster the forming of the 1-6 commission.

While that’s true, the Repugs do not control the Senate.

If you earn more not working than working, most choose not working.
