Well, I have been a Trump fan since the impeachment proved to me how much the oligarchs hate Trump. If those pigs hate him that much, I reasoned, then all my doubts about him are baseless, or else they would be trying to set him up in any of a dozen more subtle ways to fail other than a blatantly partisan impeachment that had ZERO chances of passing in the Senate.
So I am not slamming on my now beloved President, but I am annoyed with the choice to pass on this relief through state level unemployment insurance which has been overwhelmed.
They were not set up for this, which I know sounds like a minor thing for the private sector, but is a far more formidable, formal and calcified process within the Federali goobermint. As an asside, this is why if we go for a national health care public option we must go with MediCAID and not MediCARE. MediCAID is already set up to handle the full range of ages, family situations, exemptions, options etc for the whole general public. MediCARE is not. It is set up for us old farts singularly, totally, completely and modifying it to serve the general public would be a policy, software development, and staffing nightmare from hell that would totally fuck up one of the few Federali programs that actually does work well.
But anyway, The Maryland unemployment is not set up to handle hundreds of thousands of people at a time. I was supposed to automatically roll over to the FPUC seemlessly as it was implemented/initiated at the first day of my last week of unemployment, which I have not yet received. I have sent several emails asking for help and I get the following text automatically returned to me"
Their phone number they give out is CONSTANTLY BUSY. I am shut off with no communication to the MDUI at all, and I have gone two weeks without any income.
Doing this through the existing state level unemployment office is a fiasco, and I think the Democrats insisted on it in order to set Trump up to fail in his FPUC effort. They should have just sent this directly to the tax payer who is unemployed. Asking state bureaucracy to adapt to even this simple implementation is a NOGO.
THEY CANNOT SCRATCH THEIR ASSES AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME.
Meanwhile millions of Americans are desperately awaiting their unemployment without any communication from anyone whatsoever.
And to all the mindless Libertarians ready to tell me I should go and get a job, let me say right now up front, go FUCK yourselves.
