Whitmer proposes paying people $300/week to go back to work

Well if this isn't one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard.
“Eligible laid off employees will earn $300 per week bonus for returning to workforce through Sept. 4,” Whitmer said.

Michiganders will no longer have to choose to get back to work or still collect a weekly unemployment check. They can now do both.

“I think they deserve it. People been struggling forever around here. Why not give us a little something?” said Ronald McFolley.

Jobs right now are literally growing on trees. You don't need to pay people to go back to work. You need to STOP PAYING THEM to stay home. UGH this is the kind of nonsense that infuriates me.

I love my governor. And despite what a bunch of hicks in Lapeer County think and the deviants on this board say, she has done a damn good job for the state. Lots of people have a hope in Michigan that never did before.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Yes, all 10M of us have an incompetent dope in the governor's office.
This is a pro-Harris/Walz account
