Unemployment is currently more than paying my mortgage in California.

  If you were making minimum wage in California your state unemployment benefits would have been $267 per week. With federal covid aid that would have gone up to $567 - close to California minimum wage, but just short of it. I welcome you to try to pay rent/mortgage + afford food with that much money.

    Even if someone manages to live exclusively off of unemployment that means this person has reduced his resource consumption and freed up scarce resources and made them available for others who actually need them.

    $2000 a month is more than enough to live with roommates.
