at least on the surface it looks like a subsidy for companies that pay too little (and workers can accept "too little" when in conjunction with said subsidies)

at least on the surface it looks like a subsidy for companies that pay too little (and workers can accept "too little" when in conjunction with said subsidies) . If it was too little to live off, with subsidies removed, workers would demand more pay and we'd stop underwriting businesses that do not warrant their underlying resources (the workers).
- soared 8y agoIt sounds like you're discussing low-income benefits and not unemployment benefits. Unemployment kicks in when you are actively searching for a job but can't find one - not when you are underemployed. Your issue is definitely real, just separate.
