Unemployment Offices To Add Armed Guards...




AlwaysLisa -> RE: Unemployment Offices To Add Armed Guards... (11/1/2010 9:37:35 AM)

What will happen to those whose benefits are cut off?  If there are no jobs, there are no jobs, what are people supposed to do?   Some states are really struggling just to keep inner city funcitons running, if more lose their homes due to foreclosure, it certainly won't help.   

I used to think it would be best for all involved if we went back to a more simple time,  no electricity, cars or engines..everyone growing their own food and providing for themselves.  Yes, this would mean computers and cell phones too!  I can hear the collective gasp from 13 yr olds nationwide.  

Maybe this will come to pass yet.   Printing more money isn't working.

How many people died of starvation/exposure during the Great Depression?

I am certain that is not a rhetorical question, rather you don't know, nor do you have a valid segue into this.

They arent really Mennonites, just anti-capitalists.

They carry a fuck alot of cash, and alot more than your average itinerant insurance peddler, they didn't get that by being commies.

The people whose benefits are due to end - what happens to them? Will they starve to death in front of everyone, or is there some sort of safety net?

Too many of them.

Starve to death? you must be joking.




hertz -> RE: Unemployment Offices To Add Armed Guards... (11/1/2010 2:50:51 PM)

What happens then? Do they all take jobs? Seriously - what happens when their benefits end?

To keep from starving? A myriad of Federal state and local benefits.

I've misunderstood, then. I thought in the article it said:

quote:

the agency is merely being cautious with the approach of an early-December deadline when thousands of Indiana residents could see their unemployment benefits end after exhausting the maximum 99 weeks provided through multiple federal extension periods.

Unemployment benefits are not the only benefits in the US!

you can start here

And thats only public programs. There a hundreds of other charitable sources of support. I dont think there has been a documented non-medical case of starvation in the US for 70 years.

There are so few starvation deaths overall that they dont even rank statistically, and even those are the consequence of abuse or psychological impairment.

LOL - and there was me thinking the US was a nation which likes people to stand on their own feet!
