It isn't only the paycheck. Employers have an interest in denying people unemployment. Some of that money must come from them too.
What, like taxes? Yes that's what's supposed to happen with taxes.

"Who said anything about forcing people to work? They have the choice to not work and give up their unemployment check"
That's forcing people to work, dipsht. The threat of starvation or becoming homeless is just as much a threat as a policeman arresting you

"Same as the choice to not get vaccinated and lose their paycheck."
Not the same. Someone staying at home and col ...[text shortened]... are using unemployment benefits (as is their right) to look for a better job. Or even to do nothing.
So another lib gem. He says (losers) are forced to work because they will starve if they don't. Who forces, Z? If he lives alone far away in a forest, and decides to not work, and starves, from whom does this 'threat of starvation' come? He would not be a member of a dependent culture as are you. Ohhhhh what is he to do....

Z is pitiful. MB said clear facts. People have a choice to not work, they have a choice to give up their unemployment check, a choice to not get vaccinated.
Do libs have no concept of choice? And why do they (all of them) have a need to dissect this virtue of human nature? Choice? You sound like a sick mob-puppy. Does your homeless guy have some inherent right to a good cook? From whom does this right emanate? He has no such right. Maybe you Romanian socialists owe them something? Not so, in our land of choice. Your day care comment? Who is the 'random person' looking after your kid? Do you have a right to some such person? Really? Naaaaa.
Your last part about people on unemployment? Those people need to write a letter to their congressman thanking them for this money so that they don't staaaaaaaaarrrrrve. And write me a letter thanking me for supporting them. Jesus.

Some of you are ignorant. If you weren't ignorant, many of you would actually be some of us. Most right wingers are just drones thinking what they are told to think.

Someone said Marx is bad, you hate marx. Someone said wealth will trickle down, you have been waiting since then with your mouth open like a dumbass.
Zahlanzi, shouldn't you be at work? Or maybe you are chooooosing to not work and waiting for the trickle? Who are you hitting-up for the wealth that trickles to you? If I were a Romanian, I guess it would be me. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

No it isn't. If it was you would have to admit vaccine mandates force people to get the gene vaccine. Those that don't have to give up their unemployment. Same thing.

"Not the same. Someone staying at home and collecting unemployment is one way tax money being used exactly as it is supposed to. A better analogy is someone playing with a forkflift and endangering their co-workers."

It is the same. Vaccinated people can spread the virus just as much as the unvaccinated. You are in denial of facts and you are spreading misinformation.

You don't know what a work camp is. This has nothing to do with religion.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/work%20camp

"Yep, you suggested using people for cheap labour."

No, I suggested people work for money. Our whole society is based on working for money. Do you demand your employer pays you even though you don't show up to work?

"Sure, let's have a non-cook do some cooking. What can go wrong"

I never suggested people do work they are unqualified to do. Cooking is not rocket science though. Anybody can learn to cook, even a lot of handicapped people. You act as if they are going to grab a bottle of rat poison and put it in food. Maybe Gomer Pyle could screw that up, but he is a fictional character.

"So what you really have a problem with is the thought those people on unemployment just sit around"

Did you not read what I have written? Some of those people work for cash under the table while collecting unemployment. In other words, they are committing fraud and most never get caught. It also allows they employer to pay less than minimum wage and get away with it since the whole arrangement is illegal anyway. The employer who pays cash is complicit in the fraud and if he goes down his worker goes down too.

MB, nice try, I keep trying myself, but consider the shallowness of your audience. Just start with libs hate for profits, which I just addressed in the Joe is tapping reserves post.
Just look at your post here. They will not get it. It simply does not come together in their simple minds.

A huge huge chunk of your tax bill, much larger than the chunk that pays for unemployment, is earmarked for economic stability. Keep the federal cash flowing to the military contractors, farmers, oil refineries, car manufacturers.

Guess who benefits the most from this stability? Rich people. As Joe keeps writing, anyone who has an investment account is making money for nothing, chicks for free. The federal subsidies for economic stability are paying people not to work, to the point where a modest inheritance outperforms a full time job.

Why are we paying people to collect unemployment when there is work to do? Can't people plant trees before they get an unemployment check?
Meanwhile there are people that want to work and are trying to get a job and cannot get hired. They would plant trees to earn a paycheck.

It is a broken system that nobody seems motivated to fix. How do we fix it?
They paid into the fund.....
It's caIIed insurance, 'ya moron,
it's not a give away......
How many trees have you pIanted recently?

Two questions: What percentage of the population inherited their money and do not work.? It is extremely minimal.
Second question. What in the world does the money of another person have to do with you? I have never gotten a liberal to answer this question. It could be because it is in fact no one’s business?? Do you think it is your business? Does your confusion make you weary?
No confusion, LessThanAverage,
As someone pointed out they're called taxes...
You know, the fees citizens pay for public works, etc.
Oh, I forgot, well TRUMP doesn't pay 'em,
but most people do.......
Answer your question, or are you a tax cheat too?

So tell me why repubs do this central lie ALL THE TIME? People don't want to work, just draw the dole, LIES LIES AND MORE LIES.

It gets disgusting after the first few thousand times that lie gets repeated.

ALL because repubs don't want to pay for ANYTHING except maybe a super strong military, after that, STATES GET TO RULE. Which is BS in itself.
It's Tucker Carlson's Fear Factory.

Republicans would never get elected if they didn't regularly scare the bejesus out of the white people.
