Just Give People Money

So always trying to target things to supposedly worthy people just adds unnecessary complexity, leaves "deserving" people out, and makes everyone mad because their neighbor is getting more than they are? Wow who knew.

Several essential workers have told me they didn’t feel entitled to hazard pay until they saw the unemployed receiving a $600 federal subsidy. Pretty sure they would be apoplectic over a return-to-work subsidy without hazard pay https://t.co/FmekKPvHXo
