AOC saw this tweet about some workers earning more in unemployment payments than they earned in wages while they were working before the COVID19 pandemic:
This is bonkers:
Roughly half of all U.S. workers stand to earn more in unemployment benefits than they did at their jobs before the coronavirus pandemic brought the economy to a standstill. https://t.co/sXDmXH0PJ3

Maybe you should start a business and pay your employees whatever you feel like paying them. https://t.co/PlenvO9GEI

But “pay people more” just sounds so good, doesn’t it?
You're so embarrassing.

Don’t hold your breath. She’s nothing if not absolutely shameless.
