Not to mention we as the employee and employer pay into unemployment each paycheck.

Imagine having to talk about ”preserving human capital” to get somebody to understand, that the whole point of society is to look out for others.

I was laid off in November and the first thing I did was file for unemployment. I continued to pay my mortgage and buy groceries while I searched for (and found) another job as a software engineer- not working at McDonald's

Also…. We paid into the UI system. It’s insurance! Of course it should pay us.

One of the biggest things too is that health insurance is also tied to employment. If you have a health issue while unemployed with no insurance, that could cause financial ruin.

You walk and talk the balance of humanists and capitalists so well. There’s always another perspective, there’s always a cost benefit, there’s always a middle ground. Enjoy your work immensely.

Another point to consider is you must work a certain number of hours (basically a year in many states) to be eligible for unemployment. Additionally workers pay into unemployment.

If we learned NOTHING ELSE from the pandemic, you'd think we'd finally understand that when people lose their jobs, it's not always because they were poor performers 🤔

Much of the divergence in America today is about how/whether people are valued regardless of their proximity to you

Employer UI taxes should motivate employers to hire right and invest in training, planning, and managment.

They also fire good workers because they cost too much. It’s much cheaper to fire someone that makes $35/hour and hire someone new at $22/hour.
