Reply To: Remote Work and Vanishing Personal Time

Reb Yosef: I have too much respect for your intellect to get sucked into one of your trolling commentaries. Yes, of course there are some who abuse unemployment and yes the rushed COVID legislation enacted by Congress last month does create perverse economic incentives for staying out of the workforce a month or two longer.. However, whatever $$ might be implicated by such worker “abuse” is a small fraction of the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been identified as going to corporate entities who did not need those funds or to well-connected small business firms whose banks were able to electronically connect to the SBA. I’m no anti-corporate populist crusader (indeed I spend most of my working day advancing their interests) but PLEASE, take a time out on your “factual” analysis of how many workers are deliberately avoiding going back to their jobs to collect unemployment as long as possible.
