It's odd that you consider the truth about what's going on to be hate based. We're paying people to not work. More states need to do what ND is doing. We need to stop making it more profitable to stay at home than to work.
At $300/wk additional UE from the federal, that's 7.50/hr based on 40 hours.
If the list in this link is accurate, average weekly UE in ND is $406 so that's $10/hr they're getting in UE from the state based on 40 hours. Put the two together and they're making $17.50/hr to stay home. To entice someone to go to work you'd need to offer them more than $20/hr just to make it worthwhile and that's IF they're not already doing work under the table or doing odd jobs for cash right now.

Granted, the number I'm using is an average. But still if you look at what's going on, it's not hate based to see that we're not doing anyone a real service right now. There are plenty of jobs available.
