> We also are bailing people out anyway- the extra federal unemployment made unemployment benefits worth more than workers' average pay.

We had no problem bailing out a ton of businesses that didn't need it, so clearly there is no shortage of money. Also, making more money from unemployment during a pandemic is a feature, not a bug. People need to stay at home. That's the whole, entire goal.

> Because the first bill doesn't expire until the end of this month.

The checks have stopped. Unless you think they can get the bill passed and checks sent and delivered by this Friday, then there will be a gap that most people can't cover. So the Senate has indeed decided not to care as they are quite aware this is the case and have had two months to deal with it, yet refused to. So it's irrelevant when "the bill" expires when people aren't getting anymore money already and there's no plan for them to get any in the near future.

> It's the people that chose to not wear masks. It's the people that chose to go to events and go on vacation.

I agree. But the government has the biggest responsibility. And they haven't done anything but sabotage the process.
