paying people to stay home during the pandemic is NOT "free" money. It& #39;s compensation for the hardship the govt absolutely must expose people to in order to end the pandemic fast/safely. It& #39;s bonkers for anyone to characterize addt& #39;l unemployment/other pandemic $ as "free money"
"why should everyone get free money to stay home?" because.... everyone has to stay home..............
this is of course connected to decades of conservatives characterizing anyone who isn& #39;t working as being essentially a traitor to the state and a thief. their brains are too poisoned to see staying at home as the sacrifice/great hardship/socially supportive act it VERY clearly is
