I got “unemployed” during Covid and saw everyone bragging about how awesome it was that the federal government was providing extra money and it was like working a good job…
My state let me know they had run out of unemployment insurance several decades ago and I would get just the federal money, reduced down to the state amount, minus the state and federal tax from each check.
Yeah I got so fucked over it’s still a shock that people say they legitimately came out better with more money.
Revolt hush money. I’m sure this was ran through a simulation at some prior time, “how can we pacify a domestic population that might reject what we’re about to do to them?” Money, of course.
Red state?
Yup
Edit: well with big blue cities that pride themselves on how helpful they are despite being also bullshit panderong that don’t even show up to vote in local elections.
You should have seen my fucking face when I was on unemployment and I found out that I had to pay income tax on my unemployment checks. Like… what the fuck? Why didn’t you just give me less money to begin with?!
