Like Suzy Welch, I had never heard of “funemployment” (“For Gen Z, Unemployment Can Be a Blast,” op-ed, May 18). I confess to this ignorance despite having practiced employment law since 1985.

After all, our government paid people billions not to work beginning in 2020, and we read that Democrats strongly oppose any requirement that able-bodied recipients of government transfer payments do any work at all. Even hardened baby boomers should be able to understand how getting paid without having to work could be fun.
