Republicans are determined to provide business with a docile, low-paid workforce, so they naturally hate unemployment insurance. They do their best to keep payments to their absolute minimum, and to make the system as hard to navigate as possible. DeSantis even admitted that Rick Scott had done that in the early stages of the pandemic.
But Republicans love the unvaccinated members of their base. What happens when these people start getting laid off for violating employer vaccine mandates? Will the GOP intervene to make sure they get paid in spite of their insubordination?
My guess is that the donor class will prevail over the base on this one, but it will be a dilemma, to be sure.
