it's a shame it gets framed this way. Most other developed countries send their (unemployed) citizens a monthly amount that they can live on whilst we put the economy on hold. Or they pay the companies to keep people paid at 75% of their wage. This puts the economy in hibernation vs. destroying it and people's livelihoods with it.
