6. In a conversation with a cousin who is a nurse in the NYC area,

she said a lot of her neighbors were just taking the generous unemployment and not bothering to look for work. I tried to bring up that the extra $600 ended over a month ago, but she didn't seem to hear.

You would think a nurse of all people would be more empathetic. However, she is married to a NYS trooper, which helps explain her increasing move towards right wing stuff. Sigh.

There needs to be a Universal Basic Income. People opposed to it are under the impression that a lot of people would quit their jobs and somehow live the high life off that money. First off, no one is proposing a generous UBI. Secondly, the places where it's been tried, people use that money to help dig themselves out of poverty.
