“She must have had other issues if she can’t get a job as a secretary now...”

Agree. We only know what they want us to know about her. Is she married, has she been married, does she have kids? How about addictions and who knows what else?

Very often when the people are investigated in these stories we learn a lot more about them than the reporter would rather have us not know. In this case, something just doesn’t add up...

It appears that she has a job now - running a forum to lobby Congress for even more weeks of unemployment. I can see why no one would want to hire her - as her forum must take a LOT of her time.

I certainly wouldn’t hire anyone who boasts publicly about this:

I’d be scared to death of a Class Action the first time that I told her that her dress looked nice.

The other horror of relocation is the cost of moving and then the new job evaporates. Then you have incurred the cost for nothing.

I’ve thought about it, but when asking the question of “ what will my business do?”, I sit there and can’t think of anything. I guess I am not that creative.

Assuming that’s her, I’ve lost what sympathy I did have for her.

I think it is her. These people typically don’t show up in the media by accident.
