    I don’t think it’s the right idea to plan government to operate with 20+ % of the population out of work. This is an extremely rare circumstance that requires an individual approach, not wide spread change for scenarios that don’t happen.
    The government should be looking for ways to get people back to work, not how to continue supporting the growing unemployment.

    of course, you are correct that systems are, maybe not broken, but not as effective as they should be.

    They're pretty broken, some by design.

    Florida's faulty unemployment website was designed to be hard to use

    I think how the individual states handling this as it connects to other programs is very much on topic.
    unemployment rising is directly related to the COVID outbreak.
    FLA opening up (even beaches) will allow the argument for businesses to open back up due to necessity in an effort to keep from unemployment rising further.

    I’d argue states less populated like Wyoming or Montana, probably aren’t as worried about it.

    Talking about unemployment isn’t the issue. Discussing political approaches is. Keep anything political in Shoutbox.

    I heard a doctor on the radio saying the problem with herd immunity is for it to be practical at least 60% of the population would have to have coronavirus.

    Just some food for thought...

    Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day.

    Fast Facts


    And we’re concerned with Covid because?
