I think the $600/week unemployment boost was really a catalyst for a lot of this too. It finally gave so many low wage workers just a minute to breathe and reflect and not worry about their next paycheck. And those few weeks of breathing room was enough to sort of break people out of the rat race and give them time to reevaluate what they want to do. Poverty is very mentally taxing and it can make a huge difference if you have a minute to stop and plan out your life a little bit.
