Unemployment benefits: Benefits vary widely across states, often misaligning with political stereotypes and cost of living differences (e.g., Texas offering more generous unemployment benefits than California).
To me this reads like most parents in the US make so little or are working so much that more money can increase their health and wellbeing. Wierd how the economy is designed to keep you in an unhealthy place /s
Keep in mind, this enhanced program lasted only six months (if I’m doing my math correctly) and resulted in these mental health improvements, on top of all the other benefits of not having a country full of starving children. All it took was six months. Imagine what a properly compassionate social safety net would do for everyone?
The republicans who prevented the program from being extended have once again shown a crass lack of compassion and empathy. They should be ashamed of themselves, though of course they won’t be.
Think of the children! Oh wait, this was their opportunity and they chose to be unsympathetic assholes.
Change one letter and you get “cum passion”. That sounds like a sex thing. Are you trying to do inappropriate things to children in the basement of your pizza arcade that may or may not exist!?!
