Quitting being UI ineligible aside, the idea that laziness is why ppl stay home contradicts the “free market ideals” these folks pretend to champion. Markets apply to labor, too. If supply is low & demand high, price goes up. People seem to accept that for everything but wages. — PolitiTweet.org

Y’all already did over a month ago despite everyone having data that ending UI doesn’t push people back to work. Conservatives love to act like they’re “fiscally savvy” yet remain puzzled as to why people can’t work a job whose pay won’t even cover the childcare costs to work 🤡 — PolitiTweet.org

4.3 million workers quit their jobs. We need to quit paying folks not to work.

And by the way, free time is VALUABLE. People pay for time routinely, whether it’s in delivery, services, etc. It’s not lazy to stay home w family- it can lower costs. 700k+ people in the US have died of COVID so far. Do people think that has no impact on labor supply/ capacity? — PolitiTweet.org
