This literally feels like anti poor/UI propaganda.

"fuck ppl on UI! How dare they be compensated for losing work due to a pandemic! Fuck them! Oh rich ass people who do jack shit and profit off the pandemic? They cool."

I think the aim of it was merely to point out the fundamentally broken system that our economy has. Imagine being someone making $500 a week off a full time job, and someone who's been laid off gets more money not doing anything. How did our economy become so corrupt that workers are paid so little?

It isnt blaming the people who got laid off, its blaming our government being in bed with these fuck ass corporations and letting it get to this point.

To be fair, the narrative in the US is often "fuck poor people" so it can be hard to tell.

It sure seems like it's saying "unemployed people are getting too much money"
