Isn't the point to get people to stay home?

"I'm making more doing what I'm supposed to be doing" seems like a good approach, not a side effect of rushed legislation.

Aren't you also not eligible for this unemployment if your work has reopened? You only get unemployment if you're willing to work.




I think the point of the $600 was to keep the economy from seizing up, and keeping people at home was a side effect.
