It’s too bad they can’t pick which jobs are lost. Many people on the lower end of the income spectrum (who are more likely to be the ones losing their jobs) can’t really cut spending because the vast majority of their income goes to housing, food, and other essentials.
Totally agreed. It’s a shit policy that punishes people with precarious jobs.
I have no idea what would be better, TBH. I suspect the working poor would get the short end of the stick, regardless of the solution.
