And a lot of unbalanced folks without meds will strike back. You might get the hard assassination work done for you. Not that you will care for the replacements ( warlords ), so don't take too long getting out of their jurisdiction.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-31753803122678523332019-03-29T09:17:51.676-07:002019-03-29T09:17:51.676-07:00Oh, I understand.

I was laid off in 2015. I worked a skilled job in the semiconductor industry. I’m from Commiefornia, so unemployment insurance is better here than in most states. I got 24 weeks pay, and then it ended. Now, just prior to this, if you had not found a job within this time frame, it was extendable, to I believe, 99 weeks. I missed out on that one by about a year. If I recall correctly, I got around $250 a week. It goes up based on what you made, but I’m pretty sure it tops off at a maximum of around $400 a week. Being an unemployed, straight white dude, in your 50’s is a terrible thing, let me tell you. I’m not saying that it’s impossible to find employment (particularly if you are highly skilled) but you’re at the bottom of the hiring hierarchy. Sure, I could have commuted (I live in a small town) for the opportunity to be one of those dudes that wears the stuffed animal suit, and waves the sign on the side of the road, or donned one of those ultra gay Domino’s pizza uniforms going door to door, but I guess I’m not quite ready for that sort of humility yet :D You do still get some benefits however, and here’s the link detailing them:<br /><br />https://c4yourself.com/c4yourself/index.jsp<br /><br /><br />“since to read me you have proven yourself to be, for lack of a more polite term, coo-coo for Coco Puffs. A bit bat crap crazy. NOT normal.”<br /><br /><br />I wouldn’t put it in such an unflattering way. I’ve always assumed that you were that one guy that didn’t get the PC memo, or flunked out of sensitivity training :D Oh, I’d say that you’re absolutely right, it’s just the timing that can be tricky. And as the old joke goes, a bad haircut can make even a genius look stupid (Einstein joke) so as it is with timing :D (Not a rip on you, just saying in general).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-87722872381928680002019-03-29T07:42:07.606-07:002019-03-29T07:42:07.606-07:00Correct.

The idled and unemployment rate is way above what is stated. Your skills, background, financed college degree will only get you a half ass chance at a replacement job of any kind at any wage. It requires affirm action, or other networking insider juice to get even those menial positions. The urbans and attached burbs are festering boils ready to pop into a hot mess at the littlest provocation. The gov't and l.e.o.s will hold control and be paid first at all 'costs and by any means'. Unemployment is only good for 26 weeks, you will be out of work or enough income well past that. Food stamps won't be granted or enough, church food banks will get you some measles or typhus. Dumpsters will be staked out and claimed already by bum squads. Friends and family will be hit harder and in no position to help you out, don't count on that angle. If not of an ability to go near deep hermitage on own dime for well over a year or more, now, then your Minion Badge is hereby ripped off your uniform as you are unfit for duty.
