IDAHO: Get back to work

I want to give sincere thanks to the small percentage of the workforce who have chosen to continue. I did qualify for unemployment, but only collected for two weeks before giving it up, last year that was.

We are quite furious. It’s baffling that in spite of our brief, minimal shutdown last year, people still collect free money even now. Both my jobs are shorthanded and hiring. Seems every business is lately. Where is everybody?

Do you languishing lazies laugh at us for struggling to keep the economy going, for not pretending to look for work while collecting? I wonder which genius suggested $600 a week. Way to motivate! I don’t make that much by honest labor!

On top of this, people are being forced from their homes on short notice. My family found a place, thank God, but the rent is high.

Your bogus COVID vacation is over. Shame on all of you. Get back to work, Idaho!
