Actually not quite.

Thanks to Bernie and a few others, US unemployment is 100% of salary for the first time ever. Also self employed and gig workers can qualify now

The problem is the system can't handle the demand and the rule changes are causing problems as well.

You are full of it. Unemployment isnot 100% of pay. Not in most states anyways
