$600 is $15 an hour for 40 hours. If someone is making more on unemployment, then the real problem is that their job doesn’t pay a living wage.

That is True!

If they can even get it, in Florida there are still thousands who haven't gotten a dime of unemployment. Being that it's on top of state benefits, in Florida you could get up to $875 a week, and other states more. Nonetheless, it is clear that we need a $15 minimum wage!

Last stimulus was enough for $36K for every adult. How bout we don’t riot for $36K? Sounds fair.

Actually, the real problem would be that income would be taken away from them if they chose to work. We need to make our safety net unconditional. Numerous studies have shown that the UI has not led to people refusing work. We cannot play into the GOP’s narrative

I've been saying this all along.

It is telling that right-wingers extol the virtues of the free market when the left wants to raise minimum wage, but are so quick to take government bailouts for their campaign contributors when times are tough.
