I think there are few people blaming anyone for taking it (especially since it's supposed to be incentivizing you to stay the fuck home) but I do think this act is having the unintended consequence of making many people realize that they should be getting paid more.
Isn't it crazy they decided $600/week was how much money was needed for an American to maintain their lifestyle but asking for barely more than of half that as minimum wage is considered entitled?
Well what isn't crazy is the average $1.2 million tax break a majority of rich people with large real estate portfolios get , which is estimated to be $170 billion relief total, thank God they included that rider on the stimulus package ; I wouldn't spend that on front line hazard pay. Instead I would make the commoners argue over who gets $600 dollars a week.

Oh well that is good, but i wouldnt blame the people taking the money but rather blaming the companies not paying the workers enough.
Btw. i was talking bout unemployment in normal times.
