A lot of people in the lower income brackets are better off right now


through unemployment than they've ever been financially. The enhanced unemployment benefits were essential in preventing the bottom falling out for many, many people on the margins. You can be annoyed that some received, and will continue to receive through July, more from unemployment than they did from their job they lost. But I think it was crucial for the fabric of society over the past few months that people had access to those extended benefits. I don't know what's going to happen after they run out in July, but for now it's kept a significant portion of the population above water.
