    Raising the minimum wage is another topic that is not relevant to the topic of additional Covid stimulus.

    You seem to miss the anecdotal point I made. One, sixteen, one hundred sixteen .... is not 350 million.

    are you taking the stance that not a single of the 350mm people in the US have changed their desire for employment because of the stimulus money?

    Here's an anecdotal store from a guy named FRED:

    Unemployment rate (which will be dominated by all those people laid off because of COVID vs the fewer jobs for them to take) is at the same level it was in 2014. Why wasn't Obama offering $600/week to everyone?

    And it's pretty obvious the numbe of jobs available will improve. But here's a statistic to show that:

    Job Openings:

    Wow - Look at all those open positions?!?. Why aren't they getting filled?
