I would like to see a bump to those who went to work throughout this thing. Yes some have received hazard pay in some states and professions. Though many employers have the attitude your lucky to be working. I feel bad for many who have lost their job. I know personally people who did not look for other employment because they received more than they would just collecting.
It's nice to work for a Public Health agency and get assigned to the Incident Management Team when a pandemic hits. I didn't get hazard pay, but I got overtime and shift differential. Yes, the government gave me $1200 of my money back, but given how much they've stolen from me over the past four decades, it wasn't really much of a perk. I'm sure it got lots of people really excited, all those people who also like giving the IRS interest-free loans so they can get a big refund. Sigh. But I'm sure not turning it down. It's my money.
I do feel bad for those who have been thrown out of work. I'm contributing to several. I'd contribute to more, but the government takes so much to fund THEIR charities that they don't leave enough.
