Unemployment benefits are currently the best they’ve ever been by a wide margin.

  The word is "currently", isn't it? They'll be rolled back soon enough, same as in 2008, to get the plebs back to work.

    One assumes, though it's expected the child tax credit will be introduced in a permanent bill eventually, so I think there's a chance we'll see a more permanent UI benefit too. At least I hope.

      Pfft. Biden rolled back immigration restrictions in a period of record unemployment, and you expect improvement in unemployment benefits? Labour must be squeezed, and the child tax credit does that, too. Can't have a reduction in births, that would mean less workers fighting for a job twenty years down the line.
