Because, gosh, that extra $300 / week caused the unemployed to get so comfortable they refused to go out to look for work, the pandemic be damned.

Yes I've known about corporate welfare for awhile.....there are many facets to it. Giving away our public lands for gas/oil drilling, letting cattle / sheep ranchers graze on public lands for pennies on the dollar and being able to shoot predators on said public lands if they happen to prey on their cattle and sheep. The idea of tax incentives and breaks to lure corporations to set up in a specific city or town is ludicrous and literally turns into a bidding war.

The system is rigged in favor of the rich while the poor are begrudgingly given meager handouts.....
