Yup. Red state citizen here - $350 a week capped at 12 weeks. It doesn’t even fully cover my mortgage and HOA fees lmfao Our governor has point blank said he wants people to get back to work in jobs like the chicken farms and slaughterhouses.

It has nothing to do with being a red state or a blue state. I’m glad your governor wants people to work. Why is that an issue? The state, red or blue, isn’t responsible for funding those who are capable to work.

Where do you think the money for unemployment comes from? Hint: it's not the "state".
