Northern Colorado business people petition government to end supplemental unemployment benefits

Cassandra Ibarra:

Has nothing to do with wage because we are way above minimum-wage. Has everything to do with the price gouging cost of living in Colorado. … I think there’s a need for laws to be put in place to keep people from price gouging necessities here. Maybe start with a bill to cap off rent so people aren’t paying $2,000 for a one bedroom.

Agreed. So many now-hiring signs, business’ short staffed everywhere. Enough is enough. There was a need in the beginning. Now it’s time to go back to work.

To those on unemployment who could be working: “Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.” — Ephesians 4:28, King James Bible

Kristen Cherry Hooven: Scott Evans: Rodney Smith:

Get bent, Republicans. Federal dollars flowing into the state are good for the state. Guess they’ll be super pissed when they find out folks are getting $300 monthly checks per child.

Terrance Meeks:

Business owner are pissed that they can’t pay starving wages to people right now so they can make more money.

Ernest Valdez:

That unemployment stuff needs to end. These people aren’t going to know how to work anymore.

Pay a fair wage, pay more than the bare minimum. Also, remember how many parents are at home with their kids. September is right around the corner.

End unemployment payments right as “I have a baby now pay me” payments go out!
