It's pretty sad that $600-$900 a week is a massive improvement for most people.
With state benefits and $1200 its nearly $45k a year, which is quite a bit more than $15 an hour. Its no wonder people have more money given around 30 million Americans make <$10 an hour.

I am curious how long until US congress starts blaming anyone who is unemployed for "being lazy", and stop providing financial assistance, or only provides the bare minimum $7.25 an hour.
