I guess what I’m saying is, it’s not just hazard pay. So many people in this economy aren’t paid a living wage to begin with.
In an ideal world I would agree with you. In the world we live in my suspicion is that (not saying this is you specifically) calls to “balance” “excessive” (imho a case can be made for unemployment being higher than ones previous pay - parents for example have to home school now in addition to work - they paid taxes for schools but e kids can’t attend them. One theoretical.) unemployment right now are really just political cover for eliminating pandemic-related financial support for citizens from the federal government entirely.
