If I lost my income (employment) why would I take my only source of income (unemployment) and gamble it on creating some "business" (during a pandemic).. when businesses especially small ones in normal economies take years and years, if they last that long, to become profitable??

Also assuming you didn't eat, have, a medical expenses or pay any bills. What the fuck are starting with $2400 that is going to be scalable instantly that will make you money?

And yes there are theoretically businesses that can be started with small start up costs .. but the margins and time needed don't match up.
