But the key current dynamic is that when a state “reopens” furloughed workers become ineligible for UI if their employer chooses to recall them. Democrats tried to create a de facto $15/hour minimum wage, but reopening lets governors cancel it. — 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

I am normally a fan of pure legislative logrolls rather than efforts to forge high-minded compromise, but in this particular case it’s created a real mess that then intersects with the state administration of benefits to create an outcome that is not what anyone desired. — PolitiTweet.org
