So whatever the pressure to open things up this spring is about it is not about helping the people who are working retail jobs. The problem economically stems from *higher-wage* service providers (dentists, for example) and from business owners who worry about going bust. — PolitiTweet.org

You could pay businesses to keep workers on staff even though they’re not needed, *or* you could treat furloughed workers generously so there’s no need to worry about whether or not they stay on staff but trying to do both simultaneously is very confusing. — PolitiTweet.org
