Let me tell you what scary is. Having a few hundred dollars (if you’re lucky) in your bank account, a fridge half full of food, worrying about heating your home in the dead of winter, and even paying for your kids school lunches. And knowing that as of yesterday, Saturday, December 29th, you have received your last $400-ish per week unemployment check. For two to three million unemployed people, this issue is a bit more than the “headache” described by ABC News. Of the approximately 12 million Americans who are unemployed. 40 percent of those have been out of work for more than 27 weeks and are receiving extended unemployment benefits from the federal government. Unfortunately, these people are the least likely to find sustainable jobs quickly. Businesses are in the sweet position of having the luxury of being very selective.
For Unemployed Americans, Yesterday WAS The End Of The World | Addicting Info
Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
