But those employees will be eligible for CA unemployment insurance, which will pay them a large fraction of their normal pay for 26 weeks, plus the new $600 weekly federal checks (which in the case of part time or low paid employees can actually make their unemployment checks larger than their regular after tax pay).

You should be kinda careful. Since you know so much about this issue. Cancel culture is watching you

CA unemployment insurance is capped at $450, right?

  But with the federal stimulus it's $1050. Plus the payments are exempt from several taxes that are normally deducted from wages. And you don't have to look for work. And of course separately there's the extra $1200 federal stimulus check.

  Correct, capped at $450.
