My mom got an unemployment card (US Bank handles it in CO) in the mail and she’s never worked; she’s a disabled senior. My dad called the bank and they didn’t care, and he called the state and they didn’t care either. This was around 3 weeks ago
- ashtonkem 6y agoI’ll be curious to see analysis on which states performed better here. But to be fair to CO, there is a good faith reason for governments to not care if they send cards to extra Americans. So long as the federal money printer is still running, spreading money around to Americans will keep the economy alive during the pandemic. Who cares if you give a bit of extra to people who don’t deserve it? Chances are they’ll spend it on local food and what not which’ll help keep other people off unemployment. This is especially true in cases where speed is of the essence, since you’d happily accept some level of errors to get the aid out immediately.
