There's this idea that we have to force people to go back to work, regardless of how unsafe it is. And that the best way to do it is to cut the legs out from under those who have suffered the most from COVID19 pandemic.
According to this Yale study, that's not true.[Link]
And from my experience being unemployed last year, the whole unemployment compensation system only functions to make things difficult on people.
We're using a system that was designed to strongarm labor back into the workforce during a pandemic that /prevents/ people from working, at the risk of their own health and safety. We need to change that system.
