I have been on Maryland Unemployment for a few months now, and I was happy to hear about the additional $600 I would get each week, but Reality has kicked me in the ass.
Though I am due about $3000 from MD UI, it has not come, nor can I contact anyone with MD UI Department of Labor, nor the governors office. This week was the first week I could not file for the week ending 4-18, the message being that I had already filed for April 11th, which is a totally different week.
Now this is when we have alternatives to Unemployment like a job, lol. How indifferent would the Goobermint snails be were they the only game in town?
Also, while my wife and I will get by, we are not desperate, many people are and the ineptitude/incompetence of the MD government is just mind blowing.
AND THEY ARE TYPICAL.
Most government does not respond quickly to new environments or new problems. All the MD UI Labor people had to do was add some more money for a few weeks and extend the qualifying period.
AND THEY CANNOT DO THIS SIMPLE THING.
Imagine what an absolute cluster fuck converting MEDICARE, which is singularly designed for a small demographic of our population, but being assigned the responsibility for the whole country?
They would not be off the ground for months if not years.
When you look at how the VA has been till Trump took over,, and what it is likely to return to when he leaves office and a Democrat comes back in, the thought of Single Payer is essentially the equivalent of genocide for America's elderly.
