I'm having a real hard time fucking wrapping my head around the corona unemployment benefits.

If you are on unemployment, you get $600/week in addition to your bennies, REGARDLESS of what you were making before. $600/week by itself is $15/he.

This means that most people on unemployment will be making MORE than what they did while working. Am I losing my fucking mind here? What's going on?

Yes but the $600/week bonus will apparently expire by July

Most people have shit insurance and benefits anyways.

This seems like it's going to completely destroy the labor market and/or precipitate hyperinflation by EOY. No employer will be able to hire workers when they are getting paid so much. No one will want to work.

>>18196943
Inflation will push both wages and prices up so workers are making more again.

If everyone has more money to spend you can charge more and use that money to pay employees more.

this. The worst small business bosses basically gaslight you and treat you like dirt until you quit. I guess it's because they have to pay some amount if they fire someone, but never really understood what they have to pay.

Businesses (Pay into insurances that cover workers) are on the hook for your unemployment if gross negligence isn't found; walk off the job, etc. Any manager worth their salt will know how to get you to fire yourself.
