re: Good Mornin Thread..TGIF edition...

It's an unemployment debit card. Then I changed to direct deposit. You have no idea what you are talking about.

I don't qualify for a ebt card. That's what you are talking about.

And it's not cheating the system. Unemployment exists for a reason. And layoffs are a good one

It exists to give you support until you can find a new job. It is really hard to find a new job if you aren't willing to apply for one... SBP, you're turning the safety net into a hammock.

You think I should go work at stage with SBW?

Or marry BAF Joe Pep and live happily ever after.

I wasn't on it for a year. But keep reaching. Companies must pay for unemployment. I was asked by my former manager to stay available Incase the rig count increased. You are just pissy. You obviously have a thought in your mind and have kept running with it. I was never on food stamps or welfare.


Unemployment compensation is a payout from unemployment insurance, for which you paid premiums during your period of employment. No employment = no unemployment insurance. You are entitled to collect unemployment whether you need it or not, since you paid for the coverage.

Welfare encompasses a wide variety of programs which provide money, food stamps, medical care, etc. to people on a need-based scheme. That includes programs like WIC, food stamps, Medicaid, and so on.

I've never seen you this angry before

You were the one that said it had been almost a year.

You also said they offered you work overseas but you told them you'd rather be laid off.

I'm not saying anything that you didn't say yourself.

Unemployment is social welfare, you dipshit. It is funded by the government and subsidized through employers and taxes.

You want to tell me again how tax dollars aren't subsidizing unemployment? How employers pay the entire thing...

quote:

---

At the moment, employers pay a state tax for each employee. The money pays for all those state-issued unemployment checks – the first 26 weeks of them, anyway.

Employers also pay a per-employee federal tax, which funds administrative costs of implementing the system.

But because the unemployment rate – now at 9 percent – has remained relatively high for so long, 30 states have exhausted their funds and have had to borrow $41 billion from Uncle Sam. The biggest borrowers are California, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois.

If it's just "insurance" and all paid up then why are states having to borrow more money to keep all those benefits flowing? At one point it worked... but shitstains like you have abused it to the point where it no longer sustains itself. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER WELFARE BENEFIT.
