Continuing a flurry of executive action, President Biden signed an order Friday calling on the Labor Department to allow workers to collect unemployment benefits if they quit jobs they fear put them at risk for COVID-19. Pointing to a Gallup Poll finding that found 43% of Americans live in a household where at least one member has a preexisting condition, the White House wrote in a release: “The President is asking the Department of Labor to consider clarifying that workers have a federally guaranteed right to refuse employment that will jeopardize their health and if they do so, they will

This boy just wants to take my money and give it people unwilling to work so they will vote for them. Unfortunately it creates voters who help keep idiots like him in office.

Unemployment pay for refusing a job where they fear catching COVID? Fear? Now there's a measurable standard. /s Nothing more than a license to steal.

And when no one is stocking the shelves or driving the buses or taking blood pressures, what will Biden do then?

Common sense will tell you that there are going be a lot of folks quitting their jobs and going on unemployment compensation, a portion of those payments that employers are going to have to pay, not too smart.

Good question #7. Why, Biden will come up with an executive order that pays people to go to work. Awesome plan.

I'm 70. I go to work and I have been doing it since March when the 'rona first hit. Somebody has to. My supervisor works from home in fear of the virus and guess what - she got it. And I am still going out to work.

OP, where do you get that $400 bonus? My neighbor, an elder widow, is supposed to be collecting unemployment, but they are so screwed up she can't even get her regular amount, never mind that "bonus". (Which she sure wishes she could get, but never has!)

Well, I'm retired- but I WAS thinking about going back to work- but I just changed my mind, for some reason. Oh yeah, it's call Covid-phobia.
Thanks, Uncle Joe

Hmmm, does that apply to front line healthcare workers? Might this not understaff hospitals? Joe never wastes time by thinking ahead.

There goes that record-breaking low unemployment statistic. America's basement-dwellers continue to receive checks from the taxpayers and play video games. What a country if you are a lazy parasite.

A ride in the "Way-back Machine" has produced another timely one year old article. $400 'bonus' every week for not working is still a stupid idea.

What about all the Marines and Soldiers who say they fear they might catch COVID while performing their military duties throughout the USA and overseas, or on a future battlefield, or healthcare workers all over the country, can they just go home and draw unemployment compensation? In real terms such bolstered unemployment compensation payouts would most likely earn enlisted Marines and Soldiers more money each month then they now earn now performing their military duties. You have to figure that Biden is willing to sabotage the economy in order to attempt to buy votes in the November 2022 election?

Cloward and Piven on overdrive. The “depletion of the UI trust funds” will require businesses (the sole payer of UI taxes) to have their rates go through the roof. Let’s go Brandon.

So now WE know why the CEO of black rock business wants more open southern borders...he wants more immigrants hired ar $4.00 an hour...instead of paying Americans $15.00 an hour...follow the money folks...and amazon and Walmart and google want you home and ordering from them...and the credit card companies have you by the throat as well...if your credit rating doesn't meet THEIR standards you are passed over...sounds like a great way to pick our pockets...obey us...or else!!...shop locally and use U S cash...

And, what about those who quit or were fired because they refused to be vaccinated? The mandate has since been struck down by SCOTUS. Are they also eligible?

Workers deciding when they want unemployment? These people are nuts. Liberal insanity out of control. This will cause a new wave of shortages with fewer people working to deliver goods and a further deficits and inflation. Would this apply to the military and civilian support? Seems like Putin only has to invade Ukraine without masks and we’ll fold.

Unemployed will also get a $400 'bonus' every week - on top of other payments. People who trudge off to work every day get nothing.
