The Unemployment Line: COVID-19 Edition

Well, I got the $600 payment last week. Not sure for what week it was applied to.

I'll know more tomorrow. (when I expect money to be in my account)

It's just odd that they tagged two weeks ago as "waiting week", when the waiting week was waived by DeSantis over a month ago. There should't be a waiting week.

The games that are played with unemployment are infuriating. In Indiana it seems like the questions change every week. They're telling us that they have waived the requirement to look for a new job, but every week I get flagged because I don't submit proof that I have been looking for a new job.

Then you get politicians climbing up on their soap box saying things like, "maybe if people didn't eat avocados, they would have six months of salary in the bank for emergencies." And then they turn around and give trillions of dollars in bailouts to corporations that just received one and a half trillion dollars in tax cuts just a year ago. Maybe if those corporations hadn't made campaign contributions they would have had six months of expenses saved for emergencies.
